Easy YUMMY cupcakes.

These are really easy to make and REALLY yummy! They are heavier than a regular cupcake. They have almost a spongey texture like an angel food cake. You can frost them or make a cinnamon sugar topping to put on it before baking.

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening, milk, and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed.

Add eggs to the mixture. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Beat on high speed for 1minute 30 seconds until well mixed.

Spoon cupcake batter into paper liners until 1/2 to 2/3 full.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool 5 minutes in pans then remove and place on wire racks to cool completely.

This recipe can make anywhere from 20-24 cupcakes depending on how full you fill the cups. Enjoy!!
