It's not supposed to be instructional and I had no idea anyone had been commenting.

Ingredients

    * 1 3/4 cups cake flour, not self-rising
    * 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    * 2 cups sugar
    * 1 tablespoon baking powder
    * 3/4 teaspoon salt
    * 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
    * 4 large eggs
    * 1 cup whole milk
    * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    * Basic Vanilla Buttercream
    * Colored Sprinkles, for decorating, optional
    * Alternate frosting: Billy's Chocolate Buttercream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combined. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.
2. In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.
3. Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about 2/3 full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes.
4. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat process with remaining batter. Once cupcakes have cooled, use a small offset spatula to frost tops of each cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Serve at room temperature. [endtext]
