📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cupcakes:

3

5
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full (depending on how large your muffin cups are you will fill between 10 and 12 muffin cups). Bake for ⏱️ 17-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then remove muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Frosting:
7
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and salt until combined. Add powdered sugar and flavoring of choice and beat until well combined (starting the mixer slow then increasing the speed). Add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken, if necessary. This frosting can also be placed in the fridge for ⏱️ 15 minutes or so to thicken up. Use a butter knife or small offset spatula to frost the top of each muffin. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired.
