.mini cupcakes.

May 1st, 2008

1 box cake mix
2 1/3 cup water
1 container frosting

in a bowl, combine water and cake mix. using a spoon, drop mix into mini cupcake silicon pan. place in 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until done. let cool, then frost.

if you don’t have a silicon cupcake pan, use a regular one but make sure to use the papers and then use non-stick spray on the papers. mini cupcakes will take less time to cook, and will make a lot more than regular. use the same recipe for a regular cake as well.

for garnish, i took a bar of cocoa and grated a small piece.

i love to make cake from scratch, but sometimes it just makes more sense to use a box. i use water instead of oil and egg replacer because it’s something i’ll never run out of (and it’s cheaper!). it also doesn’t add any extra calories and tastes just as good, and just as moist.

*i used a duncan hines red velvet cake mix, and pillsbury cream cheese frosting.
