PINK LEMONADE CUPCAKES

These cupcakes are absolutely darling. I found the recipe in a cupcake cookbook a couple of years ago. They are perfect for little girl birthday parties (and even older girl birthday parties as my adult friends also love them!). They are tangy and sweet and not too dense. I often make bite-size ones in my mini cupcake pan. Reduce the baking time if making minis or they will dry out.

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
¾ cup frozen lemonade pink concentrate, thawed

⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons frozen lemonade pink concentrate, thawed

Tips:

  • Always use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cupcakes need to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Pink lemonade cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different colors and flavors. Whether you are a fan of classic pink lemonade or want to try something new, these cupcakes are sure to please. So next time you are looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give pink lemonade cupcakes a try.
