Vanilla Cupcakes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cake flour (I used Bake King's Top Flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted French butter, room temperature
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 large whole egg, room temperature
2 large egg whites, room temperature

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 180C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake cases. Set aside.
2) In a medium bowl, combine and sift flour, baking powder and salt.
3) Using an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat butter until fluffy and light and gradually add sugar until well combined and fluffy. Add eggs until just blended.
4) With the mixer on low, add in half the flour mixture; mix until just blended. Add in milk and vanilla extract then add remaining flour mixture.
5) Divide batter into cupcake cases and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until done. Leave it to cool for hours before frosting.
