Old Fashion Homemade Cupcakes from Scratch

I love homemade cupcakes with old fashion vanilla flavoured butter frosting. Here's the recipe: Cake 2 cups flour (all-purpose, not self raising) 3 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter 1 1/4 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup milk Stir dry ingredients together; flour, baking powder, salt. Cream shortening; add sugar gradually, beating between additions. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients; blend well. Pour into baking cups about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees F, 20-25 minutes. Vanilla Butter Frosting 5 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2/3 cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 tablespoons milk Beat all ingredients until smooth spreading consistency. If necessary, stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Color and frost to your liking.
