    2 Tbsp. heavy cream

  1. Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350º. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Prepare cake batter according to box directions. Divide batter among liners.
  2. Step 2
    Bake cupcakes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.

    Break 4 cupcakes into small crumbs. Reserve remaining cakes for another use.
  4. Step 4
    In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add cream and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form.
