  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening, milk, and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape side of bowl with a spatula.



  • Add eggs to the mixture. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape bowl again. Beat on high speed for 1 minute 30 seconds until well mixed.



  • Spoon cupcake batter into paper liners until 1/2 to 2/3 full.



  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

To make it even easier, blend all the wet ingredients with the sugar in a blender. Sieve together all dry ingredients. Mix the two in a bowl and get baking! =D
