1.Preheat Oven & Prepare Dry Ingredients: To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and insert liners into your cupcake pan. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder & salt and set aside.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add your butter, sugar, oil and vanilla extract, beating together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take no less than 3-4 minutes. You’ll want to add your egg whites next, one at a time, mixing after each until mostly combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: Add half of your dry ingredients to the large bowl and mix until it’s mostly combined. Before you add the next half, slowly add the milk and mix until well combined. The batter might look a little curdled, but don’t worry! It’s supposed to look like that at this stage.

Combine Next Half of Dry Ingredients: Add the rest of your dry ingredients, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix until smooth and combined, but make sure you don’t over-mix the batter.

Bake Your Cupcakes: Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack.

It’s not hard to make these cupcakes picture-perfect. But there are tons of easy ways to dress them up and make them even prettier!

Sprinkles: Add your favorite festive sprinkles to make these cupcakes a beautiful party treat. Fruit: Top them with a slice of strawberry, a few blueberries or any other fruit of your choice. Oreos: Garnish these cupcakes with an Oreo cookie or sprinkle them with crushed Oreos! Candy: Make these cupcakes even sweeter by adding your favorite pieces of candy. Pretzels: Turn these cupcakes into a sweet and salty treat by adding crushed pretzels or mini pretzels.

If you’re sprinkling a topping on the cupcakes, make sure to do it right after you pipe your frosting. This way, your sprinkles or crushed Oreos will stick perfectly!
