1 1/2 cups sugar

3 eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- For the cupcakes:.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix butter and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, mix again, and then add vanilla.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Also, if you haven't already, measure out the milk and the Red Bull (you can mix them into the same measuring cup, but it looks a little funky.).
- Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients to the batter. Add food color to your heart’s desire.
- Fill your cupcake pan with batter.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then let cool. Brush tops with more Red Bull, if desired.
- For the frosting:.
- Cream butter, add half the red bull, then add powdered sugar 1/2-1 cup at a time, mixing as you go.
- Add the rest of the Red Bull for flavor/consistency as desired.
- Add icing coloring as desired to achieve a bright blue.
