I love using a really good boxed cake mix. These mixes are developed and then tested by scientists. Because baking is a science I can appreciate when a company has an amazing recipe and so many times I can just go with a boxed cake mix. While this is a red velvet cupcake recipe using a box cake mix, this recipe is not overly sweet or heavy. The frosting is very light and airy. We hope that you are inspired by this Moist Red Velvet Cupcakes From Cake Mix recipe. Happy baking!
