Yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting

To honor my mother-in-law, we made her favorite cupcakes. She loved yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting. She would have loved this recipe. We miss her a lot. The cupcakes are moist and delicious. The frosting was good but I think there are other better ones so I'm only going to post the cupcake recipe only.
Yellow Cupcakes
2 cups cake flour
1 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup (8 0z.) butter, softened
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt. 
  4. Slowly, add the butter, an oz. at a time, until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  5. Add one egg at a time and mix until just incorporated. 
  6. Slowly, add the milk and vanilla. Mix until combined. 
  7. Mix until the batter is smooth.
  8.  Evenly distribute the batter between the cupcake liners.
  9. Bake the cupcakes for at least 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
