THE MOST AMAZING VANILLA CUPCAKE RECIPE
This cupcake recipe is already quite fluffy. For an extra fluffy cupcake, separate your eggs. Add the yolks in to the batter and beat the egg whites separately. Fold the egg whites in with the finished batter for the ultimate fluffy cupcake.
Gently tap the top off the cupcakes. If they feel springy and bounce back, they are done. If they jiggle, it means that the centers are not yet baked through. You can also use the toothpick test and stick a tooth pick into the center. If it comes out clean, your cupcakes are done.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter, vegetable oil, and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Add in flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed in.

Remove cupcakes from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
