Lime surprise cupcakes
I made Lemon Surprise cupcakes a few months ago, and thought I would try the same recipe for lime. I love citrus flavors, especially in the summer. There is something so fresh and crisp about citrus cake. These turned out equally delicious to the lemon ones. Yummm!
Ingredients:
One box lime jello
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
1 box gluten-free yellow cake mix
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2+ cups powdered sugar
juice of two limes
lime zest
Directions:
Dissolve one package of lime jello in 3/4 cup water. Add 4 eggs, beat 2 minutes. Add one package yellow cake mix, beat 2 minutes. Add 3/4 cup oil, beat 2 minutes. Pour into cake pan or muffin tin, bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes for a 9x13 cake pan or about 18 minutes for cupcakes.
For the frosting, mix 2 cups powdered sugar with juice of 2 limes, add more lime juice or powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. When cake is still warm, poke holes in it and pour/spread the lime glaze into the holes. After cake has cooled, add some additional powdered sugar to thicken glaze and frost cake with it. Top with zest.
