I sometimes call these my Triple Lemon Whammy cupcakes because they take full advantage of vibrant citrus flavor. A healthy dollop of strawberry jam in the frosting along fresh strawberries really puts this dessert over the top! Ingredients:
1 package white cake mix (regular size) |
1/4 cup lemon curd |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
3 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup seedless strawberry jam |
2 tablespoons 2% milk |
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
Directions:
1. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions, decreasing water by 1 tablespoon and adding lemon curd, lemon juice and lemon peel before mixing batter. Fill prepared cups two-thirds full. Bake and cool cupcakes as package directs.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, jam and milk until smooth. Frost cooled cupcakes; top with strawberries. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 dozen.
