Hi Lori. You could use cake mix but this are really fudgy and dense like a brownie. I do another cupcake that’s similar thats use a cake mix. Both are really good! https://www.thecookingmom.com/recipe-index/desserts/chocolate-mint-cupcakes/
I’m just wondering why you use a brownie mix rather than a cake mix? Better? Not too dense though?
Hi Amy,
I just wondered about how many cupcakes this recipe makes?? Thanks.
Hi Carol,
