This is a great vanilla cupcake recipe that tastes great and every one will love it! The cakes are moist and fluffy and just by adding a swirl of coloured butter cream and coloured sugar they would look fantastic for a child's birthday party.Vanilla pods or paste will taste better but if you can only extract is ok.
