Tips and tricks for a perfect cupcake recipe

• One of the secret ingredients that give the cupcake richness is buttermilk. if you do not find buttermilk just mix a spoon of white vinegar to milk. Your buttermilk is ready.
• The vegetable oil used should be odorless to keep the classic vanilla flavor
• Do not over mix the batter after adding the dry ingredients. overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes hard.
