Limoncello Cream Cupcakes image

Sometimes I don't do everything from scratch... This is a quick way to whip up a wonderfully lemony tasting cupcake in just a few moments and not a lot of mess! Everyone just loved the Lemoncello Cream so I am posting the recipe for others who enjoy sophisticated but simple recipes. I did not care for the canned frosting, but it tasted much better the second day after the flavors mingled.

Time 28m

Yield 18 Cupcakes, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 1/4 ounces super moist white cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed (put the rest in the freezer you can use it for other recipes and this one!)
1 cup sour cream
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons lemon zest (no pith)
1 (12 ounce) can whipped cream frosting (I used Betty Crocker) or 1 (12 ounce) can your favorite white frosting
2 tablespoons limoncello
lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large bowl combine cake mix, lemonade concentrate, sour cream, cream cheese and egg whites. Beat with mixer until blended. Stir in zest.
  • Spoon batter into paper lined muffin pan or muffin pans sprayed well with Pam Baking spray.
  • I actually used those new foil liners - no pan necessary.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until tester comes out of the center of a cupcake clean. Immediately do next step.
  • While cupcakes are baking scrape all the frosting out of the can with a spatula into a medium bowl. Add two tablespoons Limoncello and stir till creamy. Taste. Do you need more? Go ahead then -- add more!
  • Refrigerate while you wait.
  • Cool cupcakes completely and then frost and sprinkle with zest.
