Hey! So, I was craving a summery (summery? Not sure if that's a word! lol) treat. I kind of have the winter blues. I thought that this cupcake could count as a Valentine's Day dessert! It's SUPER simple, so pretty much a fool-proof recipe! Here you go!
What you need...
- Strawberry cake mix (and the supplies to make it)
- Lemons (you need the juice)
- Strawberries (this is optional, but I used it as a garnish)
- cupcake tin (I used mini cupcakes)
- Powdered sugar
1) Bake the cake mix according to the box in a cupcake mix (secret ingredient: put about a teaspoon of lemon juice in the mix. shhhh! Don't tell!!)
2) To make the frosting, put about a cup and a half of powdered sugar in a bowl and mix in some lemon juice until it is a liquid consistency.
3) Let the cupcakes cool, then dip them into the frosting bowl gently.
4) Garnish the cupcakes with strawberries (I let the strawberries soak in some lemon juice to flavor them even more)
These were seriously delicious and pinky perfect for Valentine's Day. Plus, they seemed to cure my winter blues! One bite of this summery (BTW, I looked it up. Yes, it is a word!!) treat, and you're mind will be in summer again! Okay, maybe it's not exactly magic, but it's delicious!!
