The BEST Classic Vanilla Cupcakes

Print Recipe
The fluffiest cupcakes ready to go in less than 20 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 egg whites room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
  • 1 box white cake mix I used Duncan Hines, but Betty Crocker is the most similar.

Instructions

  • Preheat convection oven to 325 degrees. Prep 24 cupcake tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg whites, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Sift in the cake mix.
  • Split the cake batter evenly between the 24 cupcake tins, then bake for 12-15 minutes until they're baked through. They should not be golden, these ones stay pretty white.
  • Carefully remove from baking tin and let cool on a wire rack before storing or frosting.
