Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 5 large eggs, separated
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by measuring all ingredients carefully. Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl for whipping and the yolks in another bowl to be mixed with the wet ingredients.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sifting ensures the cupcakes will have an even crumb without lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended and smooth, creating a rich, flavorful base for the batter.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; this is key to achieving the cupcakes’ light and fluffy texture.
  5. Fold Ingredients Together: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet yolk mixture, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites in batches to preserve the airiness.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into cupcake liners. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to maximize volume when whipping egg whites.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid deflating the batter and preserve light texture.
  • Ensure accurate oven temperature for even rising and to prevent cracking or sinking.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking and drying out the cupcakes.
  • Cool cupcakes upside down to maintain height and prevent collapse.
