Number Of Ingredients 10

Cake:
Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix
12 oz Mountain Dew
1/4 - 1/2 cup Mountain Dew for brushing on tops
Frosting:
2 sticks butter, softened
2/3 cup Mountain Dew
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract
7 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line 12 muffin cups with liners. Combine cake mix and Mountain Dew in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fill cups 2/3 full and bake about 15 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove pans from oven and poke holes in warm cupcakes with toothpicks. Brush lightly with Mountain Dew. Remove cupcakes from pan and allow to cool on rack. In the bowl of an electric mixer, the combine softened butter, Mountain Dew, and extracts. Beat on medium low speed until well blended. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium high and beat for about 2 minutes. If frosting is not thick enough, add powdered sugar until you reach desired consistency. Using gel food coloring, color half the frosting yellow and half green. Place in a piping bag side by side and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
