Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In an electric mixer bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy (about 5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition; then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients alternating with buttermilk until just combined.
Divide the batter into the cupcake liners about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean; cool on a wire rack before frosting.
