People are going to love these easy semi-homemade cupcakes. When they bake the brownie batter and yellow cake mix magically swap places. If kids help to make this, they'll be amazed at the inside when they take a bite. A dollop of fluffy cream cheese frosting makes them really delicious. Sprinkles make them fun and festive. Great for a bake sale, pot luck, or simple weeknight dessert.
Note: For the 1/2 an egg in the recipe, we whisked an egg in a small bowl. Then divided that between the cake and brownie batter. This recipe makes 12 cupcakes. You can easily double the ingredients (which would use the entire box of cake and brownie mix) to make 24 cupcakes.
