Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together, cake mix, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Slowly, add in water, sour cream, egg whites, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer until everything has been well combined. Add 3 drops of pink food gel coloring to the cupcake batter, and mix.
- FUNFETTI OPTION: If desired, stir in sprinkles to the batter.
- Pour or spoon batter into the lined cupcake pan. Make sure to only fill about 2/3 of the cupcake liner, since the batter will rise a bit.
- Bake in preheated oven for 22 minutes or until the center is baked. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
- While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. With an electric mixer, mix together butter and shortening until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add in milk and vanilla extract. Slowly, add in confectioners sugar a little at a time. If frosting is too thick you can add 1 teaspoon of milk until you have reached the texture you are looking for. Mix frosting for another 3 minutes.
- Add frosting to a piping bag and pipe cupcakes, or spread with a spatula. Top with sprinkles or candy hearts.
