4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Fill each paper liner with the cupcake batter, filling them about two-thirds full.
