I love to bake but sometimes I get a little lazy. So I found a way to "enhance" box mixes. LOL! Don't get me wrong, I can't stand box mixes, but there is a way that you can improvise to make them more palatable. Here's my recipe for my Cheatin Whore Red Velvet Cupcakes its called this because I cheat with the recipe to make it taste homemade. It's so freaking MOIST!!
CHEATIN WHORE RED VELVET CUPCAKES:
*1 box of red velvet cake mix
* 3 large eggs and one yolk
* replace the water on the mix with whole milk
* replace the half cup of vegetable oil with 1 stick of melted unsalted butter
* Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream
* Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa
Prepare the recipe as it states on the box and VOILA!
"ENHANCED" CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Buy one tub of cream cheese frosting (any brand will do). Blend in with an electric mixer an 8 oz package of softened cream cheese until well blended. If it becomes too soft, gradually add powdered sugar until it reaches the consistency you like. Too easy!!
This sounds like a lot of extra work, but believe me when it comes to red velvet you don't want to mess around. ENJOY!
