Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- For the batter, combine cake flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in bowl. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for 2 minutes on medium, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
- Alternate additions of dry ingredients with buttermilk, mixing after each addition (about 3 of each). Once the last of the buttermilk is added, beat for one full minute.
- Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 21-23 minutes. Remove and cool in pan 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- Store cupcakes in airtight container at room temperature.
- Be sure to use room-temperature butter and egg whites so your cupcakes are easy to mix and have the lightest texture possible.
- We love using our classic Vanilla Frosting and tangy Vanilla Sour Cream Frosting on these cupcakes.
- For a fruitier frosting, try our Strawberry Buttercream Frosting. It’s a beautiful pink color and gets maximum flavor from freeze-dried strawberries.
- Add sprinkles or edible glitter on top of the frosting for a fun decorative touch!
- Don’t want to use frosting on these? No problem! They’re just as delish and way less sweet with Homemade Whipped Cream on top.
