In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light in colour and creamy.
Beat in vanilla. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into bowl.
With the mixer on low speed add ½ of the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
Then add the milk and beat until just combined.
Add the remaining flour and beat until just starting to combine. Then scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Beat at medium to high speed for 30 seconds to completely combine.
Evenly distribute the batter amongst the 12 cupcake liners.
