Number Of Ingredients 10

Cake:
Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix
12 oz Mountain Dew
1/4 - 1/2 cup Mountain Dew for brushing on tops

2 sticks butter, softened
2/3 cup Mountain Dew
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract
7 cups powdered sugar

Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fill cups 2/3 full and bake about 15 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove pans from oven and poke holes in warm cupcakes with toothpicks. Brush lightly with Mountain Dew. Remove cupcakes from pan and allow to cool on rack. In the bowl of an electric mixer, the combine softened butter, Mountain Dew, and extracts. Beat on medium low speed until well blended. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will help to ensure that your cupcakes have the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to blend together more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough and dense.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from overflowing and making a mess.
  • Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Be creative with your frosting. You can use different colors, flavors, and decorations to create a unique and festive look for your cupcakes.
