3/4 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/8 teaspoon salt
•
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
•
1/3 cup white sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

Frosting:
•
1 cup powdered sugar

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 18-cup mini muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
2
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
3
Whip butter and sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and milk; whip until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 14 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, whip powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla for frosting in a bowl until well combined. Frost cooled cupcakes.
