Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
• Icing
• In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
• Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
• If desired, add a drop of food coloring and mix until the desired color is achieved.
• Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the colored icing using a piping bag or a spatula.
• Decorate with sprinkles or other toppings, if desired.
