Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line your cupcake pan with 6 liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl combine butter and sugar and using a handheld electric mixer, cream together until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add egg white and vanilla. Beat on medium until smooth.
Step 4
Add 1/4 cup (30g) of the flour, baking powder, and salt. And mix on low until incorporated.
Step 5
Mix in milk on low. Add remaining 1/4 cup of flour and mix on medium until well-mixed and smooth. Divide batter between prepared cupcake cups, filling just under 2/3 full. This should make exactly 6 cupcakes. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean or with just a couple dry crumbs.
Step 6
Transfer to a cooling rack when the cupcakes are cool enough to handle and cool completely before frosting.
Step 7
In a medium bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, milk or cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat until frosting comes together, adding milk by the 1/2 teaspoon as necessary.
Step 8
Transfer frosting to a piping bag and pipe over cupcakes or use a knife to spread frosting. Top with sprinkles if desired, and enjoy!
