Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cupcake pans with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and self-rising flour. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter until it is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add in the sugar, beating well until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternatingly add the flour mixture and the milk in small batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Mix in the vanilla extract just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, frost the cupcakes with your favorite vanilla buttercream frosting and enjoy!
