Step
Method 1 of 5: Baking Old Style Cupcakes
Step 1. Preheat your oven to 162ºC
Step 2. Arrange the paper cupcake liners or paper liners in rows on the baking sheet
Set aside the pan.
Step 3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl
Combine 190 grams of cake flour (which is not the self-rising type), 15 grams of flour without bleach, 400 grams of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 3/4 tsp of salt in a bowl. Stir the ingredients until combined, for about 3 minutes.
Step 4. Add 4 sticks of unsalted butter to the dough
Stir until the butter is coated with flour.
Step 5. Add 4 large eggs to the mixture, one at a time
Add eggs to the mixture one at a time until each egg is evenly mixed into the mixture.
Step 6. Add 240 ml whole milk and 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract to the mixture
Stir the ingredients together until everything is thoroughly mixed. Set aside time to scrape the bottom of the bowl so that no ingredients remain.
Step 7. Fill each cupcake paper container with batter until 2/3 full
This will leave enough room for the cupcakes to rise.
Step 8. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes
After 15 minutes, start sticking toothpicks into the cupcakes. If the toothpick looks clean when you remove it from the cupcake, it means the cupcake is ready and needs to be removed from the oven. Check back every two minutes until the cupcakes are ready.
Step 9. Make cake decorations or frosting
You can make this decoration while the cupcakes are baking. To make the frosting, simply combine 2 sticks of melted butter, 300 grams of powdered sugar, 120 ml of milk and 2 tsp of vanilla extract together. Beat the mixture with a mixing spoon until smooth and gradually add the remaining 300 grams of powdered sugar, until the mixture is soft and rich in taste.
Step 10. Cool the cupcakes
Refrigerate the cupcakes for about 3 to 4 minutes so the frosting won't melt on top.
Step 11. Decorate the cupcakes with frosting

Spoon the batter into the bowls with a spoon until they are 2/3 full, which will give the cupcakes room to rise.
Step 6. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes
