Ingredients
- 2 ¼ Cups cake flour
- 1 ½ Cups granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- ½ Teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Cup buttermilk
- ¼ Cup milk
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract clear
- ½ Cup vegetable oil
- 4 egg white
Frosting
- 16 Tablespoons butter room temperature, unsalted, quantity two sticks
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the buttermilk, milk, vanilla, and oil to the dry ingredients and beat with a stand mixer or a hand mixer just until fully combined. In a separate bowl whip the egg whites until you get medium-stiff peaks and gently fold into the batter.
- Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners until they are ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick, comes out clean and the tops of the cupcakes bounce back when lightly pressed.
- Frost the cupcakes as desired. Check the pictures in this post for a step-by-step tutorial for some cute Halloween designs!
