White Cupcakes

An excellent vanilla cupcake recipe. These are made with butter and egg whites, and the resulting cupcakes are a similar to angel food cakes - light and moist and delicious. The difference here is that the egg whites and sugar are beaten into a meringue before being folded into the rest of the batter. I made them exactly as the recipe states and got 24 standard-sized cupcakes.

These will be my default vanilla cupcakes now - they're better than any other I've made.

I thought these cupcakes were okay. The batter is very light due to the addition of whipped egg whites, and the resulting cupcakes are very light too. I think I just prefer a denser cupcake, which is why they weren't my favorite, though the flavor is very good.

The buttercream frosting, on the other hand, is amazing and is my new go-to frosting -- both the vanilla and the chocolate.
