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

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

- 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.
