Basic White Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Last Thursday was my oldest brother's birthday. His request was a cupcake with creme cheese frosting. I chose the Chocolate Port Cupcakes for the "fancy" type, I knew that the chocolate on chocolate may be a little rich for everyone, I also made a simple white cupcake with cream cheese frosting.

Cupcakes:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a cupcake tin.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil. Add the flour mixture in batches. Combine until just mixed.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from tin and set aside until cooled completely.

Frosting:

8 ounces creme cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups confectioners sugar

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until well combined and top the cupcakes.
