Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and add milk as needed to achieve a smooth and spreadable consistency.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the buttercream frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
Decorate with sprinkles or any desired toppings.
