1 box white cake mix

1 c. flour

1 c. sugar

3/4 tsp. salt

1 c. sour cream (I use light)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

whisk together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and beat until smooth. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and cook according to box directions. Watch carefully towards the end so they don't get too brown.
