Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the butter mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
