Ingredients
- 3 cups cake flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 sticks butter, room temperature
- 2 1/3 cups sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
- Sweetened whipped cream, for topping
- Seasonal fruit, for topping
- Mint sprigs, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl add the butter and the sugar. Using a hand-held electric mixer, combine until light and fluffy
Add the egg whites and vanilla and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the batter and beat until incorporated. Add about half of the buttermilk and continue to beat on medium speed until well mixed. Continue adding dry and wet ingredients, scraping the bowl and beating until incorporated after each addition. End with the dry ingredients. The batter will be thick and glossy. Spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
Scoop out a small hole just in the middle of the top of the cupcake with a paring knife. Fill with fresh whipped cream and seasonal fruit. Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve.

These were THE BEST cupcakes I have ever made!!! The cupcake part was a subtle sweetness that had a little light crunch at the top when they got golden brown. I could eat the cake part by itself!!! The whipped cream and fruit added an even better touch to it. These were such a hit at our dinner party that our friends and us were having three each! I can't say enough about these cupcakes. DELISH!!!

Very nice! It almost tasted like a sweet "cornbread" if you like. The cupcakes had a bit of a salty aftertaste, which makes it perfect for addding something sweeter, we had "sweet and sour" lime curd and whipped cream as a topping. I'm looking forward to having other different toppings on these as well, this recipe turned out several cupckes. We will definately make these again, thank you very much for sharing Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Cheryl Day :
