Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Mousse and Vanilla Frosting

 So, this is the first time that I'm doing a post with a recipe that I've already make. In this instance, the chocolate mousse.

2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup sugar
4 eggs, room temp
1 tbsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cupcake pan with liners.
2. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together.
3. Beat butter and sugar in bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Add in flour mixture and milk, alternating.
4. Fill cupcake cups 3/4 full. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
