Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add sugar and cream the sugar and butter together in the stand mixer. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy about 5 minutes.
Bake for 14-16 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out.
Stir in flavoring do not beat. You will have leftover frosting as this recipe makes enough to generously frost 16 cupcakes at least. Add your dry ingredients. Flavor may be varied by substituting lemon orange or almond extract for the vanilla and adding 12 tsp.
