These AMAZING cupcakes are my new favorite treat! The cupcakes on their own were simply delicious and then you add on the frosting and it becomes difficult to eat just one. I hope you can enjoy these as much as I did.
What you will need:
- 1 box Pillsbury White Cake Mix
- 1 pkg. (4-serving size) Jell-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding
- 1 cup water
- 1 whole egg
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- 1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice (fresh or concentrate)
How to Make them:
1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, water, egg whites, whole egg, and melted butter in a large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until combined (batter will be on the thicker side). Beat on medium speed for another minute or two. Use an ice cream scoop or measuring cup to equally distribute the batter amongst 12 muffin cups (paper lined OR a muffin tin sprayed well with bakers spray).
2) Bake 22-27 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove to wire rack and cool completely.
3) While the cupcakes are cooling, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar, and lemon juice until well blended. Frost cupcakes. Enjoy!
