Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the egg yolks, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Whip egg whites to stiff peaks in another bowl.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until uniform.
- Spoon batter into the cupcake liners and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Mix together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream for the soak.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes, then poke holes in each and pour the milk mixture over them. Let soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Beat the butter with confectioners' sugar and heavy cream until fluffy for the frosting.
- Frost the cupcakes once they have absorbed the liquid.
- Garnish with fresh berries before serving.

Notes
Ensure proper egg white separation for maximum fluffiness. Allow sufficient soaking time for best flavor.
