How To Make classic vanilla cupcakes
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a 12-cup standard muffin pan with cupcake liners; set aside.
-
Step 2In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt; whisk until well blended.
-
Step 3In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and sugar. With the paddle attachment, process on medium-high speed until the mixture is creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl if needed.
-
Step 4Add grapeseed oil and process for 1 minute.
-
Step 5Add one egg at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add vanilla extract and process to combine, about 30 seconds.
-
Step 6Reduce the speed to medium-low and add 1/3 of the dry ingredients as well as 1/3 of buttermilk, mixing very well between each addition; scrape the bottom of the bowl and the sides as needed.
-
Step 7Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them up to 2/3rds full.
-
Step 8Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with a few little crumbs.
-
Step 9Remove from the heat and let them cool 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
