Raisin Nuts Cupcakes

Cupcakes are baking! These cupcakes have the perfect density and softness as we'll be using cake mix. It's one of the secret ingredient to fast & delicious cupcakes. I like to add raisins and walnuts to make it a healthy snack. Walnuts are one of the best source for omega-3.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 stick butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ.
  2. In a mixture, combine yellow cake mix, sugar, and butter. Blend for 2 minutes and add in eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla extract and cream until smooth which is about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in walnuts and raisins. Put mixer on medium power and blend until walnuts are folded in. 
  3. Line paper cups in cupcake pan. Scope dough mixture into each cupcake pan. Fill each cupcake pan only half full as it will rise when baked. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
