3)Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity ⅔ of the way full.
4)Bake for 18 – 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove them from the oven and let cool completely.
Frosting

3)Beat until it is light and fluffy.
4) Using your piping tip of choice, put frosting into the piping bag and cover your cupcakes.

Tips and Tricks:

If you don’t have piping bags and tips, using a sandwich bag and cut the tip off to frost your cupcakes.
You can also use an ice cream scooper to put frosting on your cupcakes.
