3. Sift cake mix in a bowl then add the rest of ingredients and beat for 1 minute until combined.

4. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-21 minutes, or until and inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Directions For The Frosting:

1. In a large mixing bowl using paddle attachment or hand mixer beat the butter for 2 minutes until nice and fluffy, add the vanilla, beat for 1 minute, add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, starting with 4 cups powdered sugar, beat for 3-4 minutes until you have reached a thick frosting. I used about about 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar. You can work with the frosting, I like mine on the thicker side, that is why I used about 4 1/2 cups, but the preference is yours.
