Ingredients
Strawberry Lemon Cupcakes
- 15.25 ounces lemon cake mix (1 box)
- 12 ounces strawberry soda
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 ounces unsalted butter softened
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- strawberries cut in half, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and strawberry soda until smooth and combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the lined muffin tin cups so that they are 1/2 way full.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, beat together the butter and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Once the sugar is all mixed in add the vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Frost the cupcakes with an offset spatula or a piping bag with your preferred tip attached. (You can also use a ziploc bag with a corner cut off instead of a bag with a tip.)
- Garnish each cupcake with half a strawberry or strawberry slice. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
