Prepare Cupcakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the cupcake pan.

  3. Add softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Assembly
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Add heavy cream and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.
  3. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost the tops generously with the buttercream frosting.

  5. Arrange the frosted cupcakes on a serving platter to form a cake shape. Serve and enjoy!
