Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting (Cake Mix Recipe) image

This uses a box cake mix for the base of this recipe. Since box cake mixes require different things, the ingredient list here does not include whatever ingredients that the cake mix itself might call for (i.e. eggs, etc.). Time listed does not include cooling time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 1 2-3 layer cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 cup butter, cut into tablespoons (2 sticks)
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Place a large mixing bowl full of ice in the kitchen sink.
  • Place the chocolate chips, half and half, and butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir the mixture constantly until the chips and butter melt and the mixture thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not let it boil.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar into the mixture until it becomes smooth.
  • Then, place the saucepan in the bowl of ice, taking special care not to let any of the ice water spill into the saucepan.
  • Beat the mixture with an electric mixer set on low speed until the frosting thickens and is satiny and fudgelike in appearance, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Spread onto the cake of your choice. The frosting will stiffen up as it sets. If it gets too hard to spread, simply place the saucepan back over low heat and stir until it reaches spreading consistency.

Time 5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 -2 cup whipping cream
1 (18 ounce) package cake mix, any flavor (I prefer white)

Steps:

  • Use 1/2 the cake mix.
  • Pour into bowl and with electric beater, mix until most lumps are gone.
  • Pour in whipping cream.
  • Start with 1 cup, add more as needed.
  • This can get very thick fast, so just add more whipping cream until you reach desired spreading consistency.
  • This is wonderful on angel food cake.
  • Just add sprinkles-- For a great variation-- use chocolate cake mix, mix as directed, stir in mini marshmallows, slivered almonds and chocolate chips for a rocky road frosting.
  • better yet, rocky road"mousse" as my girls lovingly refer to it.
  • They beg me to make this to eat out of the bowl.

Tips:

  • For a thicker frosting, use less milk or water.
  • For a thinner frosting, use more milk or water.
  • To make the frosting fluffy, beat it for several minutes until it is light and airy.
  • To make the frosting more flavorful, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or lemon zest.
  • To make the frosting more colorful, add a few drops of food coloring.
  • For a fun twist, try using different types of cake mixes, such as chocolate, red velvet, or funfetti.
  • If you don't have a mixer, you can make the frosting by hand. Just whisk the ingredients together until they are smooth and creamy.
  • Cake mix frosting can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
