Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 (325 for dark pans). Line muffin or cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liner cups.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine cupcake ingredients. Mix on low for about 30 seconds until ingredients are combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Switch mixer to high for two minutes until batter is thick and creamy. Spoon batter into cupcake liners.

Step 3

Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of the largest cupcake comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Step 4

FROSTING:
In a large bowl, mix butter and cream cheese together on medium speed.
Whip until fluffy, approximately one minute.
Add powdered sugar in slowly & mix until smooth & fully blended.
Mix in margarita flavoring 1 tsp at a time & beat until frosting is light &
fluffy.
Add frosting to decorating icing bag with tip. If you don't have icing bag, you can spoon the frosting into a ziplock bag & cut the corner off to pipe the icing on top of the cupcakes.
