Strawberry-Filled Lemon Cupcakes & Cream Cheese Frosting

Print Recipe
Servings 24 cupcakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Lemon cake mix I used Betty Crocker
  • 1-1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup applesauce
  • 3 eggs or any combination of eggs + egg whites or egg substitute - I used 1 egg + 1/2 cup egg sub.
  • Strawberry Filling see recipe below
  • Cream Cheese Frosting see recipe below

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix & bake according to directions on box.
  • Once cupcakes are cooled completely, use a knife to hollow out a 1-inch hole in each cupcake, preserving only the tops.
  • Fill cupcakes with strawberry filling and replace preserved tops back on filled cupcakes.
  • Frost with cream cheese frosting. (*For a fancier look, snip the tip off of a corner of a sandwich bag, fill with frosting, and squeeze as you would a regular pastry bag. Quick & pretty!)
  • If desired, top with fresh sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of nutmeg. ENJOY!
