Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with the paper baking cups.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, ⅓ cup melted butter, ⅓ cup water, and 1 tablespoon vanilla, if you have some on hand. Add the cake mix to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
Step 3
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake until the cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, ½ cup butter, at room temperature, ¼ cup milk, and a pinch of salt. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat until fluffy.
Step 5
When the cupcakes are cool, spread with the frosting and decorate with sprinkles. Serve right away or transfer leftover cupcakes to an airtight container and store for up to 2 days.
