From-scratch frosting gives these mix-magic delights a deliciously easy upgrade — drizzle extra dulce de leche on top if you want even more decadence.

Ingredients

• 1 (15.25 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• ⅓ cup oil
• 1 tsp. grated orange zest
• 1 lb. butter, at room temp.
• 1 (13.4) oz. can dulce de leche

Evenly divide batter among liners. Bake until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 18-20 min. Cool 10 min. Transfer from pans to rack; cool.
2. On medium speed, beat butter and dulce de leche until smooth. On low, beat in confectioners’ sugar, sour cream and extract until combined. On medium-high, beat until fluffy, 2 min. Transfer to pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe on cupcakes. Sprinkle with white chocolate shavings.
