So far, the easiest and best vanilla "one-bowl" recipe I've tried

For those of you who know me, you know I've been trying desperately to find a "one-bowl" recipe w/ vanilla in stead of chocolate - and I think I've found it... The cupcakes didn't shrink in the paper cups, they didn't leak any grease - and that's perfect in my opinion :)

One bowl vanilla cupcakes

Next time I'll fill the cups half full (because I don't want to waste a lot from the top of the cupcakes when I'm using cupcake toppers)

When the cupcakes were done, I cut the top off, made a hole in the middle and filled the hole with mango puré. Added a generous amount of vanilla buttercream and placed the cupcake topper on top.

My son brought these cupcakes as a birthday gift - so we made some LEGO decorations :)
