Preparation

Step 1

Set a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 350F. Use baking cups or generously spray the wells of the pan with non-stick cooking spray and set pan aside.
Measure out all the ingredients, except the eggs, directly into your mixer bowl. Mix on low speed just until incorporated. Turn mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs (one at a time) and continue to beat on high speed for 2 additional minutes.
Fill the wells of the pan 1/2 full and bake for 15 minutes, or until the centers spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert the pan onto a wire rack, then gently tap the bottom of each well and lift the pan off. Cupcakes should cool completely before filling or frosting.
