Question 1

Do Butter Pecan Cupcakes need to be Refrigerated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these should be refrigerated in an airtight container or under a cake dome because of the cream cheese frosting.

However, for the very best flavor and texture, it is best to remove them 1-2 hours before serving. This will allow time for the cupcakes to warm and soften.

Question 2

Can Butter Pecan Cupcakes be baked in advance and frozen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, just as with the majority of our cakes and cupcakes, from Italian Cream Cake to vanilla cupcakes, strawberry cupcakes, and more, these cupcakes freeze perfectly.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, line them up in rows on a sheet cake board or tray. Wrap in a layer of plastic wrap followed by foil. They can freeze for up to three months.

When it is time to thaw, move them to the kitchen counter. Loosen or remove the wrapping after about 20 minutes and continue to bring to room temperature. Decorate as usual.

Question 3

Can other Cake Mixes be Used?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this recipe should work well with any yellow or white cake mix of the same weight. Although we used Duncan Hines for this recipe, we also tried it with Betty Crocker (which is 2 oz less.) - we added 2 oz more flour to make up the difference- they were still very good but didn't dome as much.

Question 4

What does Sour Cream do for a Cake Mix?

Accepted Answer

Sour cream adds richness and moisture to cake mixes, and also lends a more from-scratch quality to the cake's texture.

Many of our cakes, both from scratch and from cake mix, call for sour cream. Some of our favorites are Sour Cream Pound Cake, Yellow Birthday Cake, and Orange Dreamsicle Cake from Cake Mix.
