Servings 24 cupcakes
Ingredients
For the cupcakes
- 1 box white cake mix I used the great value brand
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup butter softened
- 4 egg whites
- 1 package instant white chocolate pudding mix
- For high altitude alterations see notes below*
1 batch Whipped Cream Frosting (see link below!)
Additional Items
- Red White, and Blue Sprinkles (you will need more than you think!)
- 1 M Wilton piping tip
- Pastry/Decorating Bag
Instructions
For the cupcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line your cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
- Combine boxed cake mix, whole milk, butter, egg whites, and instant pudding.
- Place ¼ cup of cake batter in each cupcake liner.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
- Make one batch of my easy stabilized whipped cream frosting!
To decorate the cupcakes:
- Using a spoon, melon baller, or potato peeler (like me!), cut a circle out of the top of the cupcake and scoop out some of the inside of the cupcake.
- Stuff the hole with sprinkles- pack them in there!
- Using your piping tip and bag full of whipped cream frosting pipe on a huge swirl of frosting! I like to start in the middle over the hole, then in a spiral out and eventual up, apply the frosting.
- Add more sprinkles on top.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*For high altitude adjustment (3500ft or above) add a ⅓ cup flour, use only 3 egg whites, and only ¼ cup of butter.
