Instructions
For the Cupcakes:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk and lemon zest. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Add in the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until combined.
- Add the egg mixture and beat on high for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add the pink lemonade. Beat another 2 minutes until fluffy.
- Drop the batter into cupcake tins with liners (about 2/3 full). Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
- Remove and cool completely before frosting.
For the Frosting:
- Beat butter for 4 minutes with whisk attachment on an electric mixer. You want the butter to be smooth and pale in color.
- Add powdered sugar and pink lemonade. Beat an additional 3-5 minutes, until smooth and fluffy (scrape down sides of bowl as needed).
- Add food coloring if desired.
- Pipe onto cupcakes (I used an open tip) and add sprinkles immediately.
Notes
- When ready to serve, insert small lemon wedges and a small piece of paper straw if desired.
- Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
