                    <!--concordance-begin-->      Everyone is always asking us which is the most popular cupcake at the bakery. Most people are surprised that it is what we call the vanilla vanilla ? the vanilla cupcake with the vanilla icing (and the most popular color for the icing is pink).  If you would like to make a layer cake instead of cupcakes, divide the batter between 2 (9-inch) round cake pans and bake the layers for 30 to 40 minutes.  
    

    Cupcakes: 
    1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 
    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 
    2 cups sugar 
    4 large eggs, at room temperature 
    1 cup milk 
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

    Icing:  
    Vanilla Buttercream, recipe follows

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.   

    Line 2 (1/2 cup-12 capacity) muffin tins with cupcake papers.   

    In a small bowl, combine the flours. Set aside.   

    In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not over beat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended. Carefully spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.   

    Cool the cupcakes in tins for 15 minutes. Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
