Instructions

  • Spoon batter into 24 lightly greased or paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cupcake comes out clean.
  • Cool in pans on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla in large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth.

    If you are piping frosting, you may want to double the frosting recipe.
