Scale

Cupcakes

  • 1 box Betty Crocker America’s Birthday Cake Mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two cupcake pans with patriotic paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, melted butter, milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  3. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full.
  4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  5. For the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Mix in the vanilla extract and enough heavy cream to create a smooth, pipeable consistency.
  6. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip and pipe swirls onto the cooled cupcakes.
  7. Finish with patriotic sprinkles and American flag cupcake toppers.
