This is the best cupcake recipe I have ever found...it is easy because it is just a doctored up cake mix. You can freeze them and alter them using different flavors cake mixes too.
We call them The Birthday Cupcakes at my house because everyone in my family always request them to be made for their birthdays. Enjoy!
The Birthday Cupcakes
24 paper liners for cupcake pan
1 package plain butter recipe golden cake mix
1 package cream cheese, at room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup oil
4 large eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Place the cake mix, cream cheese, sugar, water, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Blend on low speed with a mixer for 30 seconds or until the ingredients are well blended. Stop machine and scrap sides.
Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes more scraping down sides, if needed (VERY IMPORTANT STEP to make sure to do it at least this amount of time!). The batter should be smooth and thickened. Spoon/scoop 1/4 cup batter into each lined cupcake cup, filling it 2/3 of the way full.
Bake cupcakes until they are golden and spring back when lightly pressed to your finger (I go by the box directions on baking time). Place on wire racks to cool for 5 minutes.
Birthday Cupcakes Buttercream Frosting
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
6-8 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream butter until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes). With mixer on low speed, add 6 cups sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix until light and fluffy. If necessary, add remaining 2 cups of sugar until you reach desired consistency.
