How To Make delicious vanilla & cream cheese cupcakes

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    To make the cupcakes, place the cake mix in a mixing bowl.
  • Step 3
    Melt the butter in the microwave and mix it into the cake batter.
  • Step 4
    Add the milk to the mixture, whisking well.
  • Step 5
    Add each egg, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  • Step 6
    Prepare your cupcake pans with cupcake papers. This makes 24, so you may have to do it in batches.
  • Step 7
    Fill each cup 2/3 full.
  • Step 8
    Bake for 19-24 minutes. Cool.
  • Step 9
    To make the frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Slowly add the vanilla and the confectioners' sugar, blending until creamy.
  • Step 10
    Once cupcakes are cooled, you can frost them. I added sprinkles to some of mine.
  • Step 11
    The frosting would also be great with some lemon zest or you could add some food coloring so they have a little pizzaz! The possibilities are endless!
