4
Beat all of the ingredients until they are well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan
5
Bake at 350°F for ⏱️ 18-22 minutes. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcake is done. Allow the cake to cool.
6
For the Glaze:
7
Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan.
8
Stir in water and sugar, bring to a boil and continue for ⏱️ 5 minutes on medium-high while stirring constantly. The mixture will become bubbly and thick.

Remove from heat and stir in champagne, continue to mix until smooth, glaze will become much thinner. Set aside to cool for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
