  2. Add the eggs and vanilla, then beat again.
  3. Add the flour and baking powder alternately with the milk, and stir until smooth.
  4. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners up to two-thirds full, and bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 18 to 20 minutes.

ملاحظات

Let the cakes cool completely before decorating, or the frosting will melt.
Don't fill the liners more than two-thirds full.
Buttercream at room temperature pipes more cleanly.
