Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin tin with three cupcake liners.
Step 2: Using a spoon beat butter and sugar till creamy and well incorporated.
Step 3: In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt and set aside.
Step 4: In another bowl combine cornstarch, milk and vanilla extract. Make sure cornstarch is dissolved.
Step 5: Add 1/2 flour mixture to butter mixture, combine and then add half the milk mixture. Incorporate well.
Step 6: Add 1/4 of the remaining flour mixture, combine and add the rest of the milk mixture, combine.
Step 7: Add the remaining flour mixture and incorporate well.
Step 8: Scoop batter into cupcake liners and smooth the top so it'll bake up evenly - I filled them 2/3 full.
Step 9: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10: Cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes, remove from pan and let cool completely.
Step 11: Frost as desired
