👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Mix Eggs and Sugar

Fill the Cupcake Liners
Fill each liner about ⅔ full with batter.
Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

1 cup (225 g) softened butter
3 cups powdered sugar
