I’ll be showing you how to make cupcakes with cake mix
Put Cake Mix Into Bowl

The first step is to open the box and then place the cake mix into a large bowl
Add Water

Next you will add 1 cup of water to the mix
Add Vegetable Oil

After adding the water you will then add 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
Add Eggs

After that you will then add 3 large eggs all of the egg (meaning the egg white and the yolk)
Before Mixing

Before you mix everything together to make the batter this is what it should look like.
After Mixing

Once you mix for ten minutes by hand (you can also use a mixer) then the batter should look like this and start to form.
Line the Cupcake Pan

Once your batter is ready you can then put cupcake liners into the pan
Pre-heating the Oven
![4F240F5A-53C9-417E-AF55-8B602DE0DCF9.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F21/N7AN/K9K8KGIY/F21N7ANK9K8KGIY.jpg&filename=4F240F5A-53C9-417E-AF55-8B602DE0DCF9.jpeg)
![19A12CE4-9929-4056-AD84-06E170FCB01C.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FBZ/6IZ1/K9K8KGJ0/FBZ6IZ1K9K8KGJ0.jpg&filename=19A12CE4-9929-4056-AD84-06E170FCB01C.jpeg)
While you put the batter into the cupcake pan you will then heat up the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes
Putting the Batter Into the Cupcake Liners

![FE509A80-1AB6-4AA7-95E7-CE2ED466E9F8.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FOS/HRQY/K9K8KHBV/FOSHRQYK9K8KHBV.jpg&filename=FE509A80-1AB6-4AA7-95E7-CE2ED466E9F8.jpeg)
While the oven is pre-heating you then scoop 1 1/2 scoops of the batter into each cupcake liner using an ice cream scooper.
Taking the Cupcakes Out the Oven

Once the cupcakes come out of the oven they should look like this if you want the cupcakes to be even you can cut of the tops like I did.
Cooling Off
![4DD220BF-2E74-4E3F-9030-7EBF3A3727D0.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FK2/1ZU3/K9K8KJ4K/FK21ZU3K9K8KJ4K.jpg&filename=4DD220BF-2E74-4E3F-9030-7EBF3A3727D0.jpeg)
After cutting off the tops (if you chose too) you will let the cupcakes cool off for 30 minutes.
Finishing the Cupcakes

Once the cupcakes are cooled you can frost them and add sprinkles if you like.
