Scrumptious Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes

By SewingDragonfly

From www.cakecentral.com. Some reviewers thought maybe adding lemon gelatin to the cake mix instead of the strawberry gelatin might be good. The poster used a frosting recipe called Decorator's Cream Cheese Frosting, also found on Cake Central. She added the juice of 1/2 a large lemon to the frosting and topped each cupcake with a strawberry slice. I posted the frosting recipe separately.

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin mix
• 1 cup mashed fresh strawberries (1 and 1/2 c. whole=1 c. mashed)
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 4 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and gelatin mix. Make a well in the center and pour in mashed strawberries, oil, milk and eggs. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl and beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into prepared cupcake pans.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 min or until cupcakes are done.
