Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ Cups Cake Flour
  • 1 ½ Cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk
  • ¼ Cup Milk
  • 2 Teaspoons Clear Vanilla
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 16 Tablespoons unsalted butter two sticks room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A big pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Frost the cupcakes as desired and serve!

  6. 6

    Add butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt to the stand mixer bowl. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients, then turn the mixer on high speed and beat until the frosting is white and fluffy about 10-15 minutes.
