Recipe makes 8 jumbo vanilla cupcakes. I have always wanted a jumbo muffin pan (affiliate link) and I finally bought one! I used to love to buy jumbo vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting that were for sale at the bakery section of a local grocery store called Martin’s Supermarket. I’d split it in half with a friend since it’s a big serving, not that I couldn’t devour it on my own. It is hard to tell from the photos that they are jumbo sized cupcakes but they are.

Recipe makes about 8 Jumbo Size Vanilla Cupcakes or 16-18 regular size cupcakes.

I used my new favorite vanilla frosting recipe but it’s made without powdered sugar, it just uses regular sugar so it is not as sweet and the texture is a little less creamy but I still love it. You can totally frost these using your favorite buttercream frosting recipe, cream cheese, etc.
