Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups cake flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 egg whites
Frosting
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, two sticks room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- A big pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two muffin pans 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 the paddle attachment of 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. Let the cupcakes cool.
- Frost the cupcakes as desired and serve!
