Classic Vanilla Cupcakes With Oil
Classic Vanilla Cupcakes With Oil
"These classic vanilla cupcakes with butter cream frosting are moist, fluffy and very easy to bake. These are your new go-to small cakes. The basic difference between these cupcakes and traditional cupcakes recipe is that I am using vegetable oil instead of using butter. Oil makes the cupcakes moist and tender keeping them fresh way longer than the butter cupcakes. Another reason being oil captures the gases that are released by the leavening agents (baking powder and baking soda) and it also prevents the formation of gluten in the cupcakes, which then results in moist and tender crumb that we love.
