Instructions
For the Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners.
- Mix the cake mix, milk, oil, and eggs in a large bowl until combined.
- Divide the batter between the cupcake tin wells, filling each one ¾ of the way full.
- Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes to a wire rack and set them aside to cool before frosting.
For the White Chocolate Buttercream
- Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar. Once the powdered sugar has been incorporated, add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the buttercream is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. If the buttercream is too dry, feel free to add a tablespoon of milk to bring it together.
- Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip.
- Frost the cupcakes as desired and top with crushed candy canes.
