I thought it was a cute Valentine's treat so I tried them and I think they're pretty tasty. I think I'll always use this cupcake recipe from now on. I've always had problems with my cupcakes. They'll usually have a flat top. These ones actually had a cute little rounded top- just the way a cupcake should!
Perfect Cake Mix Cupcakes1 box of cake mix
1 cup buttermilk* (in place of water called for on box)
vegetable oil (amount called for on box)
4 eggs (instead of number called for on box)
Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin tins with paper liners. Mix according to directions on box. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for 12-20 mins (I know this is a broad range of time. Mine were done at 15 mins).
*If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by putting a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in your liquid measuring cup. Then pour enough milk over that to make a cup. Let it sit for 5 mins and you've made your own buttermilk!
Strawberry Buttercream Frosting
1 cup of butter, room temperature
5-6 cups powdered sugar
1/2 c. seedless strawberry jam
food coloring
Mix butter and jam with mixer until jam is well incorporated. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Put a few drops of red food coloring in. If it's too thick you can add a little milk.
