Sift the flour and other dry ingredients together before adding butter, eggs, milk and vanilla into the flour mixture and prepare the batter. Grease the muffin cups in which you want to prepare the cake. Now fill the cups with the batter and then put it in the preheated oven to bake it. Bake it until you find that a toothpick inserted comes out easily. Now add nuts or chocolate at the top and do the frosting as you like.
