Frosting is an important part of cupcakes,
you can use any butter, salted or unsalted, it depends on you, but i would suggest you use good quality butter, which has higher fat content and lower water content.
Tips for baking vanilla cupcakes
To make lovely cupcakes divided the batter between each liner equally.
Also, for that, you can use a large cookie scoop.
Have patience don’t open the open the oven door too many times,
opening oven door too many times will make some of your cupcakes unbaked.
However, if you are eager to check your cupcakes, peak through the glass.
If the batter is equally mixed with the ingredient, then do not mix it anymore. over mixing will create the gluten in the recipe which is terrible for cupcakes
Keep your cupcakes in an airtight container. To prevent your cupcakes being dry.
