1. Preheat oven to 250F
2. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners 
3. Place the milk, oil, sugar, apple cider vinegar, vanilla and almond in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer 
4. Beat on medium speed for a minute or two.

7. Bake for about 30 minutes at 250F, or until the cupcake slowly springs back when pressed with a finger
8. Allow to completely cool before frosting

For the Buttercream
