For the cupcakes:
3/4 cups shortening (150g or 170g butter)
1 1/2 cups sugar (300g)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla (7.5ml, get the very best you can!)
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour (280g)
3 tsp. baking powder (15g)
1 tsp. salt (5g)
1 cup skim milk (240ml)
5 stiff beaten egg whites
Stir shortening (or butter) with a wooden spoon to soften, or let butter sit at room temperature until it holds an indentation, but is not oily and soft. Gradually add sugar and cream the two ingredients until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes on medium, remembering to scrape down the sides of the bowl and beaters periodically.
Add vanilla.
Sift flour with baking powder and salt (or just whisk in a bowl). Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Gently fold in egg whites. Spoon into muffin tins. Bake until lightly golden brown about 12-15 minutes at 375F/180C.

1
Frosting:
2
2 1/2 cups sugar (300g)
3
10 large egg whites
4
4 cups butter or 8 sticks ((910g, yes it's a lot but it's good, trust me!) cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) sized pieces
5
2 1/2 tsp vanilla (12.5ml)
6
Place sugar and egg whites in the heat proof bowl of an electric mixer. Put bowl over pan of simmering water and whisk until sugar has dissolved and egg whites are warm, about 3 minutes. Test by rubbing the mixture between your fingers- You should not feel any granules of sugar left in the whites.
7
Attach the bowl to the mixer and using the whisk attachment beat on high speed until the mixture has cooled completely and the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. This should take around 5-8 minutes depending on your mixer.
8
When adding the butter, which should be medium soft but not room temperature, add only one piece at a time and wait until it is fully incorporated. If butter is too soft, the icing will not hold up as well. If butter is too hard, icing will not be smooth.
9
While mixing you may notice that the icing begins to curdle, it will return to a smooth consistency the more it gets beaten and once all the butter is incorporated.
10
Add vanilla.

Buttercream can be left out and will hold up well. If not using right away, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container and then bring to room temperature and beat on low speed when ready to use. Frosted cupcakes can stay out overnight without having to be covered.
