Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.

2. Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Divide the Batter: Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each liner about two-thirds full.

6. Bake: Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

7. Cool Completely: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan before frosting.

8. Make Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a spoon or a piping bag to frost each cupcake.
