Zucchini Spice Cupcakes (ToH Aug/Sept 08)1 pkg spice cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup raisins (I left out the raisins and substituted white chocolate chips)
Cinnamon Frosting:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 to 2 Tbls milk
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in zucchini and raisins. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. (I made jumbo muffins and they turned out great.) Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. For frosting, in a small mixing bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add enough milk to achieve a spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Makes 2 dozen.
