Ingredients:
3 Cups Flour
2 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Butter, room temperature and unsalted
2 Cupssugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 Cup Whole Milk, room temperature
1 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line a cupcake tray with liners. 
2. In a bowl, mixtogether flour, baking powder and salt. Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and cream with the butter for 7 minutes, scraping the bowl when needed(batter should be nearly white and fluffy). 
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Turn the speed to low and alternatively, add the flour mixture and milk, starting andending with flour until just mixed. 
4. Add vanilla until just mixed. Divide the batter into the cupcake liners until 2/3 full.  I used a cookie scooper which was the perfect amount to fill 1cupcake. 
5. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out just clean, about 12-15 minutes. 
6. Cool for 5-10 minutes on a rack.  Frost with your choice of icing!
