Servings:

Ingredients

15 ounce box white or yellow cake mix
3.9 ounce box instant vanilla pudding (dry)
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
4 eggs
¾ cup canola oil
¾ cup warm water
8 ounces sour cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line cupcake liners in 2 muffin pans.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and vanilla pudding. Add 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in now (this will prevent them from sinking) and stir until combined.
Next mix in 4 eggs, 3/4 cup canola oil and 3/4 cup water. Then stir in 8 ounces sour cream.
Pour the batter into the liners (about 3/4 the way full). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean. Do not overcook.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Wait to frost until cooled completely.
