Hi sweet readers♥
It´s easter soon, and one of the things I love to bake is Cupcakes.
This white vanilla cupcake is delicious, make sure you read the instructions well, especially if you don’t have cake flour.
I decorated this cupcake with fluffy vanilla cream and an Easter candy!

- Mix for 5-7 minutes until creamy and fluffy, pause at times to scrape the bowl and beater halfway trough.
- With the mixer running on medium, add the egg whites one at a time, mix well each time.
- Reduce speed to low and add 1/2 of the cake flour, followed by 1/2 of the buttermilk, alternate between the two, mix only for 10-20 seconds each time.
- Fold the cupcake batter with a spatula to ensure it is well mixed.
- Line a cupcakes pan with 12-14 papers.
- Fill each cup about two-thirds full, I use an ice-cream scoop.
- Bake in the middle for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake emerges with only a few crumbs attached.
- Cool completly before you decorate your cupcakes.
