You know what is really fun? Dressing up a cake mix and making a dessert so decadent no one will ever know! I recently made these cupcakes for my Grandma’s birthday. No one could guess they came from a mix and were whipped up with only a few ingredients. Just ask my Uncle Ken, he kept coming back for more!
DOUBLE LEMON CUPCAKES
1 box lemon cake mix
16 ounces block-style cream cheese, room temperature
1 jar (10 ounces) lemon curd
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3 cups confectioner’s sugar
1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, to make 24 cupcakes. Let cool.
2. In a large mixer bowl, beat together cream cheese, lemon curd, and butter until creamy. Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar until blended. Frost cupcakes generously with icing.
Hint: Want to make this recipe even more lemony!? Substitute 1/3 cup of water in the preparation of the cake mix with 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Also, toss in the zest of two lemons. It tastes amazing!
