Ingredients
1 1/4
cups water
1/2
cup presweetened lemonade flavor drink mix
1
box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1/2
cup butter, softened
3
eggs
1
package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
Pour water into large bowl. Add 1/2 cup lemonade drink mix; mix well. Add remaining cake ingredients; beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl as necessary until mixture is smooth. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling racks; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat all frosting ingredients except food color with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. If necessary, add a little more milk until mixture is spreadable. For a yellow frosting, beat in a few drops yellow food color. Refrigerate until ready to frost cupcakes.
Frost cooled cupcakes. Refrigerator until ready to serve. Store in refrigerator.
