Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
