Basic White Cupcakes with a Twist

These are made from a mix however by adding buttermilk you create a melt in your mouth cupcake that everyone will love.
THIS CAN ALSO BE MADE INTO A LAYER CAKE.

NEED:
1 (18.25-oz.) package white cake mix with pudding
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Vegetable cooking spray

Beat first 6 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer just until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes or until batter is smooth, stopping to scrape bowl as needed. ** can do my hand and still get good results.

Place paper baking cups in muffin pans, and coat with cooking spray; spoon batter evenly into baking cups, filling each two-thirds full.

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove cupcakes from pans to wire racks, and cool 1 hour or until completely cool.

Frost with a fluffy white or lemon frosting. Serve just frosted or dressed them up for any special occassion.

ENJOY!
