For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cupcakes. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup and filling it with milk to equal 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Store frosted cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
