This easy vanilla cupcake recipe from scratch makes a cupcake that is light, fluffy and has a perfect dome. The best way to make your cupcakes moist and tender is by adding a little oil and buttermilk. Buttermilk is acidic and actually breaks down the gluten in the flour, for a more tender cupcake. You can pair it with a simple buttercream icing, with chocolate frosting, or my favorite, homemade cream cheese frosting. #fromscratch #vanillacupcakes #moist #best #recipe #homemade
