For the Cupcakes
  1. 1 box of white cake mix - I prefer super most Pillsbury white
  2. 1 cup of butter milk
  3. 1/3 cup of vegetable oil (if the cake mix box calls for more or less oil - use the amount on the box)
  4. 4 eggs
For the Vanilla Butter-cream Frosting
  1. 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (very soft but NOT melted)
  2. 8 cups confectioners sugar
  3. 1/2 cup milk
  4. 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
To make the cupcakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. Line the muffin cups with paper liners
  3. Put the cake mix in your mixing bowl
  4. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil and eggs
  5. Beat until moistened – about 30 seconds
  6. Increase the speed to high and beat until thick – about another 2 mins
  7. Spoon the mix into the liners filling the cups about 2/3 of the way to the top.
  8. Bake for 15-20 mins – until a toothpick poked into the cupcake centers comes out clean.
  9. Remove the cupcakes from the baking plans and allow to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting
  1. Place the butter in a large mixing bowl
  2. Add 4 cups of sugar, milk and vanilla extract
  3. Beat until smooth and creamy
  4. Slowly add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time until it’s a good spreading consistency (you might not need all the sugar)
  5. If you want to colored icing – add a few drops of color and mix thoroughly.
  6. Frost the cupcakes (don’t refrigerate the icing because it will set)
