Ingredients
cake flour
2 cups (sifted)
baking powder
3 teaspoons (not needed)
salt
1 teaspoon (not needed)
white sugar
1 1/4 cups (not needed)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare your muffin tins by lining them with paper cupcake liners.
2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar until well combined.
3
Add the shortening to the flour mixture along with 3/4 cup of the milk. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this wet mixture to the batter while continuing to beat on medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
5
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them only halfway to prevent overflow during baking.
6
Bake the cupcakes in your preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
