4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and line twenty-four 1/2-cup muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy and beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and with mixer on low speed beat in buttermilk until just combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating until just combined after each addition.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. They were dry and the frosting was too sweet.

I loved the tanginess of the buttermilk in these cupcakes. They were a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cupcakes.
