Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup whole milk
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Your favorite frosting (e.g., chocolate or cream cheese)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to 350°F (175°C). For charcoal grills, let the coals ash over.
In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients.
Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each cup about two-thirds full with batter.
Place the muffin tin on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Once baked, let cool slightly before transferring cupcakes onto a wire rack.
Frost cooled cupcakes generously and add toppings if desired.
