Whisk your dry ingredients, then your wet ingredients.Salted Butter-I use salted butter in all my baked goods for added flavor, but if you need to use unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon salt per stick of butter.You can substitute with regular white vinegar if needed. Apple Cider Vinegar-this adds a boost to your cupcakes’ rise when the vinegar reacts with the acid from the buttermilk and baking soda.I find that almond is a perfect compliment to so many cupcake combinations, but if you do not want as strong of an almond flavor, you can decrease the almond extract and up the vanilla exract in equal parts. We used McCormick Culinary Imitation Almond Extract at Amycakes Bakery, as it’s nut-free and affordable. Almond Extract-you can use pure or imitation.Vanilla Extract-use regular or imitation in the cupcake batter, and save the pure vanilla for the delicious buttercream.It enhances the moisture and texture of the cupcakes, but you can also substitute it with equal parts sugar. Light Corn Syrup-this is not the high fructose kind.
