Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake trays with 24 liners. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large mixer bowl with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar, and mix thoroughly. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix to combine. Add half of the dry mixture. Mix at low speed until just combined. Then pour in evaporated milk, followed by the remaining dry mixture. Mix to combine.
Scoop batter into prepared cupcake pans to 2/3’s full. Bake cupcakes 20-23 minutes or until they spring back when touched. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
To make the icing, combine the butter and brown sugar in a mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed until combined, then add remaining ingredients. Start mixer on low, once combined, turn speed to medium high to thoroughly incorporate ingredients and to allow the icing to become light and fluffy.
