Notes

STORE: Unfrosted cupcakes can be store at room temperature for up to 3 days. Frosted cupcakes can be store at room temperature for up to 1 day, or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Take into consideration that the cupcakes will lose part of their fluffiness if refrigerated or frozen.

FREEZE: First, let cupcakes cool COMPLETELY. Then, wrap cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap and place individually-wrapped cupcakes in a plastic double zipper quart freezer bags. Freeze the cupcakes for up to 1 month. I recommend freezing them without any icing or frosting on them, as some icings can turn watery as they defrost. To defrost, unwrap cupcakes and bring them to room temperature.

Yes, buttermilk is necessary for this recipe.

How to make buttermilk?

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let stand for 5 minutes. The milk will get thicker and clumpy and is ready to use in any recipe calling for buttermilk.
