Vodka Cupcakes

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

4 eggs

1/2 cup cake vodka

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

3-1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with baking cups.
2. In a large bowl, combine butter and eggs. (It will look clumpy and runny.) Stir in vodka and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Fill baking cups 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Option: Brush the tops of the cupcakes with more vodka!
