Yes, here is a recipe:

Okay, that sounds like a good recipe, but could you go over each step in more detail, I'm a bit confused.
user
Sure!  The first step is to preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.  That means you put the oven on and turn it up to 400 degrees.  The second step is to prepare two cupcake pans by lining them with paper liners and greasing them with butter.  This is because paper liners help prevent the cupcake batter from sticking to the pan.  Then you prepare your cupcake batter by combining 4 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, 4 1/4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 cup of butter.  After that, you can take the cupcake batter and add it to the cupcake pan, and bake it for about 20 minutes, until the cupcake is done.  Then, to make icing, you mix 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.  This gives you 1/4 cup of icing, which you can then use to frost the cupcake.  To make 1/4 cup of icing, you can mix 1 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of butter, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.  This gives you more icing, which you can use to decorate the cupcake.  Voila!  Here’s a picture of your finished cake.

Okay, thanks, I will do that. Could I maybe add something else to the cake mix, such as lemon, or chocolate?
user
Sure!  What kind of cake do you want to make?  We can make a vanilla, chocolate, or lemon cake.
assistant
Lemon sounds good.
user
Okay, in the recipe above, you would replace the vanilla extract with lemon extract.  Is there anything else you’d like to change?
assistant
Okay, what about using real lemon?
