Scrape the bowl, mix briefly, then scoop the batter into the prepared pan, using 1/4 cup for each well, a scone and muffin scoop works well here., Bake the cupcakes for 16 to 18 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean., Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes; after 5 minutes, gently tilt them out of the pan and place on a rack to finish cooling completely., To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, and salt.
