Cinco de Mayo Cupcakes : Cupcake Tuesday

1 cup butter


2 cups sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp lime oil

4 eggs

2 3/4 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 cup milk

1 cup 1800 Margarita Mix



- Preheat the oven to 350º F, and grease or line 30 cupcake cups.

- Combine salt, baking powder, and flour in a bowl.

- Combine the milk and margarita mix in a container with a spout (the mixture will curdle, but that's okay).

- Cream butter and sugar in the mixer and then add eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add lime oil and mix to incorporate.

- Gradually beat in the flour mixture and the liquid mixture, alternating them, making sure to start and end with the flour mix. Beat as little as possible, just until the batter comes together.

- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake cups.

- Bake about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool.
