Mountain Dew is my favorite! I love that you made cupcakes with this flavor. Thank-you for the tasty & easy recipe. 🙂
Nice receipe and easy to make . Will prepare it over the weekend for my family. Thanks.
My hubby likes Mountain Dew so I might have to give these a try sometime
How many cupcakes does this yield? And can this recipe be baked as a cake versus individual cupcakes?
Mine made 3 dozen
Not impressed. The flavor didn’t come through at, very dissapointed.
I made these tonight and was amazed at how good they were. The batter had such a unique fluffiness due to the soda and the consistency when eating them was phenomenal. We’ll definitely make again!
How ere you able to make the Mt. Dew flavor come through??
Mountain Dew is so good! These cupcakes are delicious. The part about adding 1/2 cup powdered sugar until the frosting peaks was a bit treacherous. I ended up adding 10.5 cups of powdered sugar before it peaked. I decided to add some marshmallow fluff to soften it a bit. It ended up very sweet. I topped the cupcakes with pineapple and coconut!
Bless you for posting an actual *recipe*! I can’t believe how many listings say “add soda to cake mix”. Excited to give these a shot.
