How to Make Easy Heavenly White Cupcakes
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg whites and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting (if using). In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with your favorite frosting and decorate as desired. Enjoy your Easy Heavenly White Cupcakes!
