How to Make Perfect Cake Mix Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil (as specified on the box), and 4 large eggs.
- Add the buttermilk in place of the water called for on the box.
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds until just moistened.
- Increase mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes, until batter is thick and fluffy.
- Transfer half the batter to a zip-top bag. Snip a 1/4-inch corner off the bag.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full using the zip-top bag.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cupcakes are golden brown.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, frost and decorate your cupcakes to your heart's content! (Pro-tip: Try a Thanksgiving theme for extra wow-factor!)
