P.s. Originally the recipe belongs to Natasha's kitchen. And I give her full credits. Here's where I got it from.

INGREDIENTS :
- 1¼ cups cake flour
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup buttermilk

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cupcake/muffin pan with cupcake liners.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1¼ cups cake flour (or Canadian flour), 1¼ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda and ½ tsp salt. Set flour mix aside.

- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 2 eggs with the whisk attachment on medium speed (15-20 seconds).
Add ¾ cup sugar and continue to beat on medium speed (30 seconds).

- Add vanilla and oil and beat on medium speed (1 minute).

- Reduce mixer speed to medium/low and slowly add about half of the flour mixture. Add half of the buttermilk, then the rest of the flour mix and the rest of the milk. Beat until just combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl. The batter should be thin.

- Pour batter into a lined muffin pan. Fill to about ½ full.

- Bake for 12 -14 minutes at 350°F. Let them cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then remove.

- Once the cupcakes are cooled to room temp, pipe on the frosting.

NOTES:
- This makes 15 - 18 cupcakes.

- My oven takes longer, I always check with a toothpick, if it comes out clean that means they are done.

- To make cake flour, take out 2 tbsp of flour or maida from 1 cup and substitute it with cornflour. For this recipe 1 cup is made like I just mentioned and for 1/4 take out 1.5 tsp of maida/flour from 1/4 cup and substitute it with 1.5 tsp of cornflour.

- To make buttermilk. In 1 cup of milk add 1 tbsp of white vinegar and let it stand for 5 minutes. This recipe calls for half cup buttermilk so I just halved it.
