~Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line the cupcake tray with liners. Set aside.
-Making the Cupcakes:
Step 2: Place the softened butter into a bowl and mix on medium speed for 1 - 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add in the milk, the oil, the vanilla extract and the eggs and mix on low for one minute.
Step 4: Add in the dry ingredients and combine on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 5: Finish stirring by hand if not all of the ingredients are not well combined.
Step 6: Using a large cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly, filling each liner 2/3 full. Careful not to overfill.
Step 7: Bake for 15 -18 minutes. Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done.
