I once heard that you could make quick and easy cupcakes on the cheap by using just cake mix and soda or flavored water. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the lack of eggs and such at the time. Now that I’m getting more comfortable experimenting with recipes, I decided to try something different.
Cranberry Apple Cupcake Recipe
Ingredients used:
- Duncan Hine’s white cake mix
- Old Orchard Cranberry Naturals – Cranberry Apple
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Pour white cake mix into a medium bowl
- Add 12 ounces (1-1/2 c) Cranberry Apple juice and mix until well blended
- Put cupcake liners in tin or grease well; pour mix in
- Bake for about 25 minutes. Cool and frost (cream cheese frosting was yuuuum) if desired
Makes 14-24 cupcakes depending on how much mix you use in each one.
You may want to tweak this a bit. I found the cupcakes to be a little too soft and crumbly.. and sticky. Maybe less juice should be used.?

Yummy! These look really good -- and easy enough that even I should be able to make them! :) Digicats {at} Sbcglobal {dot} Net

Heh. Premade cake mix counts as one ingredient.

You can also make two ingredient cakes by using any cake mix and add a diet soda flavor. I have used a Chocolate fudge cake mix with a can of diet orange soda. The cake was moist and delicious!! You can use your imagination and have awesome combinations!! Have fun with it!! :0)

This sounds delicious! I bet it would be great with some dried cranberries or raisins in them too. :) Angela Michels lilsweeper76 at yahoo dot com
