My quest for fluffy white cake!

I made this beautiful cake here and it was devoured pretty soon. However the cake was a little dense for me. So I searched for white cake recipes. I was not satisfied with any of the recipes I came across so I decided to do the unthinkable. I came up with my own recipe...for baking a cake...from scratch :O

As you can see the first batch was a little burnt, overcooked and oozing out of the cups (although guinea pigs told me it was pretty awesome) so I adjusted the recipe again with the baking time and temperature and I was met with success!! Out came perfect fluffy and moist white cakes! Yay me!
And I can't give out the recipe links for this one, so here goes:

White Lemon cupcakes
Ingredients: 
3 cups flour
1.5 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt 
2 eggs
1/2 cup veg oil
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup and 5 tblsp milk
1 pack white chocolate pudding instant mix (can be skipped... Increase sugar by 1/2 cup)
1 tblsp lemon zest
5 tblsp lemon juice 

To make:
Preheat oven to 325 F

In a bowl mix all dry ingredients - flour, salt, baking powder and soda, pudding mix and sugar and mix well

In another bowl beat eggs, add all the other wet ingredients and mix well. Add to dry ingredients and beat until mixed. Don't over beat. 

Pour 1/4 cup in each cupcake liner and put it in the oven. Bake for approx 22 minutes or until fragrant and stick inserted in the middle comes out clean! It makes about 48 cupcakes. Recipe can be easily halved!
