Instructions
Cupcakes
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk eggs with sugar on medium speed until smooth. Add in canola oil and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda together. Stir to combine. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the stand mixer bowl with wet ingredients. Mix on medium speed only until just combined.
- Add in 1/3 of the buttermilk. Whisk on medium speed, continuing to add the remaining flour and buttermilk in thirds until you run out.
- Pour cupcake batter into molds. Bake cupcakes at 350°F for about 13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cupcake Frosting

- Slowly mix in powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth.
- Transfer cream cheese frosting into a piping bag and decorate your cupcakes. Enjoy!
