add more vanilla

[@natikabirdsong6207]

I tried this recipe today (first time baking from scratch) and the cupcakes turned out fine, but lost a little flavor after baking 😔. do you know how I could fix this problem?

+Natika Birdsong Hi Natika, i'm sorry to hear that :( i'm not quite surewhat you mean by they lost flavor? do they lack sweetness? or are they dry?
if they are too dry it might be that you over baked them. try adding a little more sugar or vanilla extract.
also, usually vanilla cupcakes are really just little sponge cakes, so it is the buttercream icing that will give them most of the flavour. did you make the icing too?

Ohhhhh... i didn't know that lol. At first I didn't, but i have been working on my buttercream and pairing it with my cupcakes.
