 Make Ahead Instructions:

 You can prepare cupcakes 1 day in advance. Keep cupcakes covered tightly at room temperature and frost the day of serving. Unfrosted cupcakes can be frozen up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before frosting and serving. Frosting freezing instructions included in step 5.

Buttermilk (preperations)

 Buttermilk is needed for this formula. You can make your own DIY rendition of buttermilk if necessary. Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a fluid estimating cup. Then, at that point, add sufficient entire milk to a similar estimating cup until it arrives at 1/2 cup. (When there's no other option, lower fat or nondairy milks work for this soured milk, however the cupcakes won't taste as sodden or rich.) Stir it around and let sit for 5 minutes. The hand crafted "buttermilk" will be to some degree soured and prepared to use in the formula.
