Add the box of pudding and stir well.

Pour the batter into the lined cupcake pan until ¾ full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Check to see if cupcakes are done by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean then the cupcakes are done.

Allow cupcakes to cool for at least 30 minutes before frosting.

How to Frost the Cupcakes
