Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and set aside. In a small bowl, combine flours and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla and scraping down sides of bowl in between each addition. Beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.

Step 2

Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about three-quarters full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer to a wire rack to cool in tins for 15 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tins and cool completely on rack.

Step 4

For the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter, 4 cups sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating for about 2 minutes after each addition, until icing reaches desired consistency.
