Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
- FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- 1 box White Cake Mix (18 Ounce Box)
- 3/4 cups Frozen Pink Lemonade Concentrate, Thawed
- 1/2 cups Water
- 1/3 cups Vegetable Oil
- 4 whole Egg Whites
- _____
- FOR THE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
- 3 cups Confectioners Sugar
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
- 1 pinch Salt
- Food Coloring
- For cake:
- - Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 12-count muffin tins with liners (24 total).
- - Combine all of the cupcake ingredients in an electric mixer and begin by mixing low for 30 seconds, then increase the speed to medium for another minute.
- - Divide the batter evenly, filling the liners about 2/3 full.
- - Bake cupcakes for about 25 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean.
- - Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting.
- For buttercream:
- - Combine all ingredients in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low until combined.
- - Increase speed to medium-high and beat until frosting is light and to your desired consistency.
- - Separate frosting in 2 bowls, add food coloring to one of the bowls, and decorate/pipe as you desire.
- - You may need to double the buttercream recipe if you plan on piping tall frosting swirls on all 24 cupcakes like I did (that's a lot of frosting per cupcake, just the way I like it!)
