Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position the oven rack in the middle.

  2. Place cupcake liners in a 12-cup standard muffin tin.

  3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  4. In a small bowl, stir together the milk and vanilla. Set aside.

  5. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer), add the butter.

  6. Mix on low speed until the butter is smooth, approximately 1 minute.

  7. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of the sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  8. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add about one-third of the flour mixture and beat until just combined.

  9. Add half of the milk mixture and beat until smooth. Repeat this process with the remaining flour and milk mixture, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  10. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat briefly to ensure a smooth batter.

  11. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites on high speed until foamy.

  12. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue to beat until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks, approximately 10 minutes.

  13. Fold the whipped egg whites
