Mini Cupcakes

These Mini Cupcakes are my favorite traditional cupcake recipe but bite size! The classic vanilla cupcakes with any frosting (especially chocolate) are great for parties of any kind – little 2-bite cupcakes that taste amazing.

Who doesn’t love a mini version of something great? I make my favorite cupcakes mini by using a mini muffin pan and mini cupcake liners. These soft cupcakes are traditional and delicious, but tiny! Made from my vanilla cupcakes, I love serving these at large gatherings because they make more and people feel like they can eat a few since they’re small. They’re so good with the perfect tender crumb and sweet flavor.
