These cupcakes are made with lemon cake mix.
There's strawberry Jell-O inside and also in the frosting. They're
sure to be a
favorite!
Ingredients:
Cupcakes:
1
box of lemon cake mix (I use Betty Crocker) and the ingredients
called for on the box
Large package of Strawberry Jell-0,
divided use
Frosting:
Remainder of the Jell-O package
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp cream of
tartar
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg whitesGarnish
with strawberry slices and lemon twists, if desired
Method
Prepare cake mix as
directed on box. Fill cupcake paper liners half-full with batter,
put 1/8 tsp of Jello powder in center and cover with more cake mix
till cup is 3/4 full. (I sprinkled some on top too and gently swired
it in till powder is wet.) Bake cupcakes according to box
directions. Frosting: In top of double boiler, combine all
ingredients. Place over rapidly boiling water. (Do not let water
touch bottom of the pan.) Beat ingredients on high for 7 minutes or
till stiff peaks form. Do not overcook. Remove from heat. Continue
to beat about two minutes or till frosting holds a deep swirl. Cool
the frosting in the refrigerator. After cooled, spread on the
cupcakes. Top with fresh strawberry slices and lemon
twists.
