Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cupcakes bake evenly and prevent them from curdling.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cupcakes light and airy.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
Mix in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Overmixing will make the cupcakes tough.
Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean when it is done.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
