Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk until just combined.
