Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, poke holes in the cupcakes with a toothpick or fork.
  • In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Pour over the cupcakes, allowing them to soak up the milk mixture.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra special touch, top with whipped cream and fresh berries.
