Cake Fridays

Easiest and tastiest boxed cake mix cupcakes I've ever had!  All you do is dump yellow boxed cake mix into a bowl with 1 C Greek yogurt and 1 C water.  Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until smooth.  Then bake according to box instructions.  The cupcakes turn out moist and light, perfect for a summer dessert party. The frosting is just 1 block soft cream cheese, 1 stick soft butter, 1 C powdered sugar, and 1 capful vanilla extract, plus any food coloring you desire.  Whip it up with your hand mixer or stand mixer and slather on the cakes.  The tangy frosting paired with the yogurt based cupcakes are the perfect combination.  I will be making these all the time!

Next time, I might add some zest to the batter to brighten up the flavors.  A flavored yogurt would work well here or a different boxed cake mix like chocolate, devil's food or butter.  I might experiment with different extracts too. Think of all the possibilities...
