Yahoo! Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew Cupcakes with Mountain Dew Buttercream That Is...

Mountain Dew is one of my very favorite sodas.  There is nothing better on a hot summer day than an ice cold can of Mountain Dew soda.  Many of my friends in the theater world also love Mountain Dew. When I came across a recipe for Mountain Dew Cupcakes, I knew I had to make them.  These cupcakes are moist, citrus-y and delicious.  And the recipe couldn't be easier!

Mountain Dew Cupcakes:
1 box lemon cake mix
1 box of instant lemon pudding
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups of mountain dew
1/2 cup vegetable oil

  1. This is a great way to impart some of that wonderful lemon/lime flavor! You see a lot of recipes using coke, but hardly any using this soda. Pretty cool that it is in the frosting as well. They look amazing!

  5. All these recipes and not one orange! Apparently no one has read the ingredients on a can of Mountain Dew. Main citrus is concentrated orange juice!!!
