Years ago, my family always used Betty Crocker cake mixes for many delicious tasty cakes, however, we don't use anything in a box anymore, including the icings. Trans fats are still in the "boxes" and making these cakes on a regular basis can lead to a heart attack.

One note, I don't use the tub frosting because they are way too sweet. Betty Crocker has a super good, fat free, meringue type frosting, that comes in a box. It's what i use to make my cream filling. It can be hard to find. That's why I buy it by the case from Amazon. It's called Home Style Fluffy White Frosting. Awesome stuff...

As I was saying, sickeningly sweet. If anyone wants it, let me know. I'll share it.

I've been doing this for a long time. i even order the frosting from Amazon, by the case. But, if you like Hostess Cupcakes, here how to make an easy replica. Make your chocolate cupcakes as directed. For the filling, use a box of Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting. Mix according to directions. When it's done, continue mixing, but add 1 tsp of Coconut Extract. In a food processor, a coffee grinder also works, finely shred 2 cups of shredded coconut. You want it real fine, but not quite powdery. Mix the coconut into the frosting. Pipe the filling into the center of your cupcakes. Frost and eat. I use my Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and Gounche ( probably spelt wrong), on top of the cup cakes. i dip them into tje gounche then pipe my chocolate fudge frosting on top of that. I have my own recipe that's not sickeningly
