In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
If using, gently fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
