Recipe Notes

the frosting should spread across all 18 cupcakes but I only used it on 12 bc hubby likes thick icing layer! I left the last 6 un-iced and may just eat those plain since they’re only 2 points! The icing yields a thicker frosting layer for 12 cupcakes or a thinner layer for 18 cupcakes 🧁 ❤️ And only other important note is all ingredients require either a hand mixer or kitchenaid blender – hand mixing won’t work for best results
