2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup margarine or butter
1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Grease and lightly flour twenty-four 2-1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper bake cups. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat margarine or butter with an electric mixer until softened. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, beating on low speed after each addition just until mixed. Pour into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
Frost with your favorite frosting. I like to do the basic butter cream frosting and make several variations.
Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add 4 cups sifted powdered sugar alternately with 1/4 cup milk beating well after each addition. Beat in additional milk, if necessary, to make of spreading consistency.
Put frosting in several bowls. Add lemon or orange juice, maple flavoring, dissolved instant coffee coffee, etc. to different bowls. Top with sprinkles, chopped nuts, coconut, cocoa powder, etc. Makes it look as if you baked many different types of cupcakes.
