Ingredients
1 1/2
sticks
12 Tbs butter, softened
1
cup
sugar
3
large eggs
1 1/2
cup
self rising flour*
1
Tb
warm water
1
tsp
vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a muffin/cupcake pan with cupcake wrappers. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add in the warm water and vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
Starting and ending with an egg, alternate adding eggs and flour, beating until each is thoroughly incorporated.
Evenly divide batter into your prepared cupcake pan. It should make 12-18 cupcakes.
Bake until fully cooked and golden, 15-17 minutes.
Let cool then frost.
Notes
*If you only have all purpose flour, like I did, you can whisk 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt into 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour.
