Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

- In another bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, sugar, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until well-blended.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill the cupcake liners about ⅔ full with the batter.
