You’ll love the simplicity of these raspberry lemonade cupcakes. A box cake mix and fresh homemade raspberry buttercream frosting make this recipe easy to make and delicious to eat. A fresh raspberry tops the cupcake for extra fresh goodness!

Instructions
- For the cake, add cake mix, jello, egg whites, oil and water in a mixing bowl. Beat 2 minutes until blended. Fill cupcake liners half full and baking in a 350 degree oven for about 18 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat butter, powdered sugar, raspberry lemonade and food coloring on high for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Fill a decorator bag (I used tip 2D) and pipe onto cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle with sparkly coarse sugar if desired and top with fresh raspberry.
Notes
- If you want a more intense raspberry flavor, add dried raspberries to the frosting like I do in my Strawberry Almond Cake recipe. To do this, just pop some freeze dried raspberries in a food processor or freezer sealed bag to make crumbs and then add it into the frosting mixture.
- Try swapping out raspberry lemonade concentrate for several tablespoons of raspberry jam and fresh lemon zest or lemon juice.
- The white cake mix and lemon-flavored jello combined creates a delicious lemon flavor. You could also swap out the white cake mix for lemon flavor cake mix and omit the gelatin altogether.
- Sometimes you can find special edition cake mixes like pink lemonade cupcake mix. That would also work well in this recipe and be a fun twist on my pink lemonade cupcake recipe! (No box cake mixes in this one!)
