As you might already know, I'm not big on baking from scratch, so I actually like using box mixes and doctoring them.

These Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Coconut Cream Frosting are light, fluffy, and scrumptious with a subtle hint of lime and coconut in the cake and a light, yummy, not-too-sweet frosting on top.

Small Batch Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting Small Batch Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Wow! These are the easiest cupcakes and they come out so moist. I was seriously impressed. Tried this recipe in metric because I finally bought a kitchen scale! I might be a convert. Really liking small batch recipes. I can only eat baked goods for about 2 days and they start to go stale after a while anyway. No one wants food waste! I had leftover cream cheese frosting and they turned out delicious but you could also pair with a classic or flavored buttercream.
