Source of Recipe


Southern Living (December 2008)



List of Ingredients



• 1 (18.25-ounce) package devil's food cake mix
  
• 1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
  
• ½ cup milk
  
• ¼ cup butter, melted
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 24 paper muffin cups
  
• Winter White Glaze (recipe follows)
  
• Garnishes: red cinnamon candies, fresh mint leaves
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   Beat first six ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer just until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium, and beat 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth, stopping to scrape bowl as needed. Spoon batter into 24 greased and floured muffin cups.
   
   
2. Bake at 350° for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
   
   
3. Arrange cakes upside down on a serving platter.
   Spoon Winter White Glaze over cakes -- about 1 tablespoon per cake -- spreading with a spatula to thoroughly cover cakes. Garnish, if desired.
   
   Makes 24 servings.
