- Add the sugar and continue to beat for 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each and scraping down the sides after each. Incorporate the vanilla until fully blended.
- Alternate adding the milk and the flour mixture until fluffy combined. Mixture will be slightly runny.
- Divide the batter between lined tins, filling them 1/2 -3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cupcakes are golden and tops are springy to the touch and pass the toothpick test.

- Add the vanilla and salt, mixing well.
- FInally, add the powdered sugar, beating well until smooth. If the mixture is too thick for a piping bag, add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream until a spreadable consistency.
