Directions

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat until fluffy and creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mix. Mix until smooth.
Add half of your dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir until just combined. Add half of milk, again stirring until just combined. Repeat once more, adding remaining dry ingredients, and remaining milk, stirring until combined.
Fill 15 cupcake liners about halfway full. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove pan from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring cupcakes to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Buttercream Icing

Add milk and beat for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Add food colouring and mix until smooth.
Recipe Note
This recipe can also be made with Harvest Moon Mills All-Purpose flour, but the cupcakes will not be as soft.
