Method:
1) Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin tin with paper cups. Sift together the flour & baking powder.
2) In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. I used a hand beater and kept at it for a good 6 to 8 minutes.
4) Beat in eggs one at a time, beating really well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract next and beat really well again.
5) Now stir in the sifted flour + baking powder until almost mixed. Add the milk and beat till the batter is smooth.
6) Spoon it into the paper cups - 3/4 full is good because they rise quite well. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes clean.
These are great plain or with an icing of your choice.. since my daughter likes Cream cheese I used that to make this icing and topped with some sprinkles. "
