Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 35o.
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy (a few minutes).
Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir dry mixture into wet (butter) mixture alternately with buttermilk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 3 of buttermilk.
Using an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure, scoop batter into two 12-count muffin tins that you’ve lined with cupcake liners. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until a cake tester (toothpicks or skewers work well too), inserted in the centre comes out clean. Then remove pans from the oven and set on a rack.
Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tins for about 5 minutes, then remove and let cool completely before adding your favorite icing.
