Halloween Fun Family Activity

Preheat the oven to 350°F and place cupcake liners into two muffin tins.

Whisk together cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

Add buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the dry mixture and beat using a stand or hand mixer just until combined.

Whip egg whites in a separate bowl until medium-stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the batter.

Spoon batter into cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and tops spring back when pressed.

In the stand mixer bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed until the frosting is white and fluffy, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Frost cooled cupcakes as desired with prepared frosting, using seasonal designs for presentation.
