Instructions
For the Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- Whisk the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a large bowl.
- Divide the cupcake batter between the cupcake tins.
- Place the cupcake pans into the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Once baked, remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting
- While the cupcakes are cooling, make the buttercream. Add all of the ingredients, except for the food coloring, to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat together on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth and fluffy. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl down intermittently to ensure all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Once smooth and fluffy, evenly divide the frosting into 3 separate bowls. Add a drop of food coloring to each bowl, separately. Mix until the frosting is completely colored.
- Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a round tip or tip of your choice. Pipe the frosting onto the top of each cupcake. Optionally, top with sprinkles or gummy candies.
Notes
- Storage: Store summer sherbet cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
