Ingredients

Cupcakes

1 box white cake mix (15.25oz/432g)
3 large egg whites
1 cup water
0.33 cup vegetable oil
0.5 teaspoon mint or peppermint extract
0.5 teaspoon green food coloring

Frosting

2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix

Garnishes

Green sprinkles optional
Maraschino cherries optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake pans with liners.
Place cake mix, egg whites, water, oil, and extract in a large bowl. Whisk vigorously or use a hand mixer to beat until smooth. Add food coloring and stir in carefully.
Fill liners 2/3 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
To make frosting: beat whipped cream with a hand or a stand mixer on high speed. Gradually add the pudding mix and beat until stiff peaks form.
Frost cupcakes and top with sprinkles and/or a cherry.

Notes

For a stronger mint flavor, you can increase the mint extract to 1 teaspoon. Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
