A Dollar (plus tax) and A Dream

On a whim, I bought a yellow cake mix from the 99 Cents Only store (Country Value Premium Moist) and I'm really happy with the results. The recipe called for soy bean oil which I was plum out of so I substituted olive oil.

The mix was really thick and made more like 15 cupcakes vs. the 12 the box promised. I probably could have made 20 because they rise nearly twice the size I thought they would. Two tablespoons of the wet mix will yield a normal-sized cupcake.

I was pretty impressed by this mix and would highly recommend it ("cost effective" and "delicious" are 3 of the best words in the English language). I hope your cupcakes come out just as well.

Happy baking...
