This is my take on a super easy semi-homemade recipe from Dierberg's Everybody Cooks June 2008 issue. Perfect for a summery luncheon, a bridal shower, a baby (girl) shower, or a get-together with the girls! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons lime zest |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons light rum |
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box strawberry cake mix |
1 cup water |
1/3 cup applesauce |
3 eggs |
1 (8 ounce) container strawberry cool whip (or your favorite frosting) |
6 fresh strawberries, with caps quartered (optional) |
lime zest, for garnishment (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, combine lime peel and juice with rum; add water to bring liquid up to 1 1/4 cups.
2. Beat cake mix, lime/rum/water mixture, apple sauce and eggs in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
3. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups.
4. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
5. Bake in 350 degree oven 15-17 minutes (until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).
6. Remove cupcakes from pans immediately, place on wire racks and cool completely.
7. Pipe/spread cool whip or frosting on top of cupcakes.
8. Garnish each with a quarter of a strawberry and a little grated lime peel.
