Time 1h10m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
2 ¾ cups self-rising flour, sifted
6 medium eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). If using a metal giant cupcake pan, thoroughly grease all sides and dust with flour, tapping to remove any excess. If using a silicone cake pan, there is no need to grease.
Combine sugar and butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in flour alternately with beaten eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Divide the mixture between the top and bottom giant cupcake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in the pan, then turn out to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, frost and decorate as desired with your favorite frosting.
