As a side effect of watching 2 broke girls, at 1 am I decide to bake some cupcakes and they turned out pretty good... Here the recipe, enjoy!

Vanilla Cupcakes

• 1 cup (250 ml) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups (500 ml) granulated sugar
• 4 eggs

• 1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt

• Directions
  With small sharp knife, halve vanilla bean lengthwise (if using); scrape seeds into large bowl. Add butter and sugar; beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in vanilla.
  Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture alternately with milk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of milk. Spoon into paper-lined or greased muffin cups. 
  Bake in 350ºF (180ºC) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool on rack. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
