    Ingredients
      

    • 1 box White Cake Mix
    • 2 large eggs
    • ¼ cup canola oil
    • 1 ¼ cups Mountain Dew
    • 3-5 tablespoons Lime Jell-O
    • 3 drops yellow dye optional
    • ¼ teaspoon lemon extract or lemon juice

    Mountain Dew Buttercream Frosting

    • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
    • ⅓ cup Mountain Dew
    • 1-3 tablespoons Lime Jello mix
    • 1 - 2 tablespoons cream or milk
    • ¼ teaspoon lemon extract
    • Optional: 2-3 drops yellow dye
    • Lucky charms and sprinkles
    • 3 ½ - 4 cups Powdered sugar

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Line a muffin tin with liners.
    • Mix up cake mix with all the ingredients mentioned and bake cupcakes according to directions on box.
    • Do not overfill, about â…” full should be good. (Even if you do, it's ok!)
    • Bake for 15 minutes, watch them carefully, these burn easily. Use a toothpick to test for doneness.

    Mountain Dew Buttercream Frosting

    • Beat butter till creamy and smooth.
    • Add in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, making sure to combine completely.
    • Once all the powdered sugar is combined, add the remainder of the ingredients and beat well.
    • Frost cooled cupcakes either with a filled pastry bag with a round tip, or snip a hole out of a ziplock bag and pipe onto the cupcakes.
    • Add some lucky charms and sprinkles!
    • So good!

    Notes

    I think you could try a lemon cake mix, omit the lemon extract or juice if you do, with the exception of the frosting, leave it in there!
