Equipment

  • Stand Mixer with the Paddle Attachment
  • Liquid Measuring cup
  • Dry Measuring Cups
  • Muffin tin
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup + 2 tbsp Bob's Red Mill 1:1 All Purpose Gluten Free Flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 ½ t. baking powder
  • ½ t. baking soda
  • ¼ t. kosher salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside. Combine the milk and vinegar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt then set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer mix together the vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs one at a time to the oil mixture beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • Add the flour mixture to the bowl and beat until a batter forms then on low speed gradually add the milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then beat for 30 more seconds.
  • Fill the cupcake cavities only ⅔ of the way full. Don't overfill. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean or the tops bounce back when pressed. This should be around 16 to 18 minutes.
  • Let cupcakes cool and then frost with vanilla or chocolate buttercream.

Notes

*King Arthur's Measure for Measure flour also works great in this recipe!
