In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar . Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well. Fill the muffin cups 1/3 full.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
