3. Vanilla Cake: In a large bowl, combine eggs, egg whites, oil, buttermilk, sour cream and vanilla. (Do not over mix.) Sift in cake mix to remove lumps and stir until combined. Scoop vanilla batter on top of the chocolate batter to fill the liners 2/3 full. (1/3 chocolate & 1/3 vanilla.)

[…] Raspberry Neapolitan Cupcakes from Your Cup Of Cake […]
Lizzy, what pretty little cupcakes! Perfect for charity events, wedding/baby showers or for hosting a girls night out! Can't wait to try them.
is there any way to make less? like half the recipe or something
These look great! I love cupcakes and cakes made from the box. I've tried all kinds of recipes from scratch and still like the boxed cake mix. Great job!
I like how you keep your recipes simple by using a box cake mix. But, whenever I am in the baking isle looking at the different cake mixes I have a hard time choosing a brand. Is there a brand that you prefer for your recipes?
Duncan Hines is my favorite. I DO make some alterations to the cake mix, that being, I use melted butter instead of oil, add 1 tsp of almond flavoring, one extra egg, and milk (instead of water). People rave about them. Moist and rich.
The cupcakes look gorgeous. This is a great work. Thanks for sharing.
To half the recipe, you can make the cakes from scratch and half any basic recipe. Colvins, most people swear by Duncan Hines, but personally, I love Pillsbury. Good luck everyone!
thanks for the help your cupcakes are amazing 😀
Is there a certain tip you use to get your icing to look so great on these cupcakes??? I want mine to look like this! 🙂
Tip #809!
Hey if I make the frosting for this cupcake a day of head a time, would it get to hard in the fridge.
Thanks,
Amanda
Yes, it would get rock solid. But you can leave it in a tupperware in a cooler place of your house over night and it will be just fine.
These were so yummy and very beautiful, will deff make these again!!! Thanks!!!
I made these cupcakes for my birthday and they were a big hit! Instead of raspberry buttercream, I used your recipe for strawberry buttercream so they really tasted like Neapolitan ice cream. I got tons of compliments, and someone even described them as “killer”. Thanks, Lizzy! Love the site and can’t wait to try so many of your other recipes!
these sound awesome~I would never use a cake mix tho, so off to find a vanilla cupcake recipe that will go with my fave chocolate cupcake!
When you say butter in the recipe. Real butter? Salted/Unsalted? Will margarine worke?
yes, real butter. I use unsalted. A lot of people use margarine in their frostings, but I do not recommend it. Good luck!
How come on the white cake u combine whole eggs with egg whites?
What can I add to the batter to make the cupcakes rise better?
Does the amount of frosting you have listed here really frost all 48 cupcakes?
Yes, but if you want to use a lot of frosting on each, make extra. Good luck!
Would Yellow Cake mix work? I am trying to use what I have on hand but not sure how it would look. It’s for a birthday party for a five year old. We are doing Hello Kitty Cupcakes.
Yep, that will work just fine!
These were amazing! A big hit 🙂 Thanks!
I made your raspberry frosting and it was so runny…what did I do wrong?
Common Buttercream problems are… 1:Make sure you use REAL butter 2: Make sure you do not melt the butter or that the butter has never been melted (it changes it chemically and can’t be reversed) 3: Add more powdered sugar. Depending on where you live and the heat, the amount you add can’t change drastically. At home in Oregon I may only add 2 1/2 cups but in the hot Utah summers I can add 6 cups.
Do you think it’s ok to mix these cake batters by hand rather than with an electric mixer?
Would this work with the strawberry buttercream from the lemon and chocolate Neapolitan recipe? Love your recipes!!
Yes of course!
