4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoon Vanilla

Mix Cupcake Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In the bowl of a mixer, cream together butter, oil and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, add in vanilla extract.

Bake and Cool Cupcakes

Once the batter is smooth, scoop into lined muffin tins filling them ¾ of the way up. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Let cool completely before icing.

Make Frosting and Cut a Hole in Each Cupcake

For frosting, place butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat on low until smooth & creamy. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, salt and vanilla & mix until combined. Gradually add in the remaining powdered sugar. Add in one tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired fluffy consistency.

Before icing the cupcakes, cut a hole in each cupcake (about ½ inch wide).
