Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Add the flour mixer and milk alternately. Fill liners 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 23 minutes.
- Bring a pan of water to simmer. Combine sugar, egg whites, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place bowl on top of the pan; whisk until sugar dissolves.
- Attach bowl to the stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until stiff peaks form and mixture is cool and glossy. Add butter a few tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix until buttercream is smooth.
- Cool cupcakes in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes. Frost cupcakes with the buttercream.

I didn’t actually put on the buttermilk frosting. Just because I did not have all of the ingredients.

Great cupcakes, however used own recipe for the frosting. Nice, moist cupcake that was up to par with expectations.

Very buttery, which isn’t surprising with the amount that’s in there. Cake was very dense for me. Just okay. Did not try the icing as I made my own from another recipe.
