Key Lime Pie Cupcakes
Ingredients:
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 c. half and half
  • 6 T. key lime juice
  • 1 c. sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 recipe whipped cream (recipe below)
  • 4 T. grated lime peel ( 3 limes)
Method:

Mix together cake mix, eggs, half and half, and 3 tablespoons key lime juice. Pour 1 -2 tablespoons batter into each paper liner. In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and the rest of the lime juice. Evenly divide lime milk into batter-filled cups. Top with remaining batter and fill ¾ full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 -18 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.

Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
  • 2 c. heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ - ½ c. powdered sugar
Method:

Pour cream into large mixing bowl and start mixing at low speed. Gradually increase speed until cream thickens and soft peaks form.

Turn off mixer and add sugar. Start slowly again - no messes today? Beat until stiff peaks form.

The stiffer the cream, the easier it is to frost the cupcakes. Keep refrigerated.

Frost with whipped cream and garnish with grated lime peel.

Pink Lemonade
Ingredients:
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1/3 c. pink lemonade concentrate
  • ½ c. buttermilk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 - 3 drops red food coloring
Method:

Mix together all ingredients until smooth. Pour batter into paper liners and fill ¾ full. Bake 15 - 18 minutes at 350 degrees or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool completely before frosting.

Pink lemonade Cream Frosting
Ingredients:
  • 8 T. butter, room temperature
  • 3 ¾ c. powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 - 4 T. milk or cream
  • 1 - 2 drops red food coloring
  • 2 t. lemon extract
Method:

Place butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stop the mixer before adding the sugar to avoid a large mess. Add sugar, 3 tablespoons milk or cream, food coloring, and lemon extract. Beat frosting starting on slow speed and increasing your speed until frosting is nice and creamy. Add up to 1 more tablespoon of milk or cream if frosting is too thick.

Mix together all ingredients until smooth. Pour batter into paper liners and fill ¾ full. Bake 15 - 18 minutes at 350 degrees or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool completely before frosting.
