Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat softened butter and caster sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
Gradually incorporate dry ingredients alternately with milk until just combined.
Scoop batter into liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool before making the frosting. Beat softened butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, then mix in vanilla extract until fluffy.
Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes and enjoy!
