Cream Cheese Vanilla Cupcakes

I found this fun, yummy recipe on Kitchen Therapy.

I took them to church for my YW (the lesson was on the Law of the land).

They were a HUGE hit.

Check out her blog for some tips and frosting recipes to go with this delicious cupcake!

(they turned out cute huh?!)

8 ounces cream cheese (about 1 cup), softened

2 egg whites

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 box white cake mix

1 cup water

1 t. vanilla

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12 count muffin tins with paper liners.

2. In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, egg whites and vegetable oil. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients until combined and creamy.

3. Add the cake mix, water and vanilla and mix until smooth, about 3 minutes.

4. Fill the muffin cups to just below the rim and bake until puffed and golden, about 18 to 20 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly in the tin then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack.

6. When cook, frost with vanilla butter cream frosting (recipe HERE) or your favorite frosting.
