Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla cupcake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tub (16 oz) cream cheese frosting
  • 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries and blackberries)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the 1 box vanilla cupcake mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Divide batter evenly among the 12 liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. 4

    Frost each cupcake with a generous swirl of the 1 tub cream cheese frosting. Top each with a few of the 1 cup mixed berries and a mint leaf if you have one.
