Mt Dew  Boxed Cake Mix Cupcake Recipe

The addition of real Mountain Dew to the cupcake batter makes for a light and fluffy cupcake, with a delicate crumb and just a hint of it’s namesake flavour.  If you wanted a more pronounced flavour, use a lemon boxed cake mix, and you can even boil down two cans of Mountain Dew to half the volume, and use that instead of a single can.

This is a super simple recipe – just two ingredients for the cake. I will be experimenting further and bringing you a “from scratch” Mt Dew Cupcake Recipe, but I wanted to start with an easy recipe and work my way up!
