How to Make Scrumptious Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix and strawberry gelatin.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the mashed strawberries, oil, milk, and eggs.
  4. Beat on low speed until just combined. Then, scrape down the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  5. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, cream together the softened shortening, butter, and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  9. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  10. Gradually add the powdered sugar and salt, beating until smooth and creamy.
  11. Stir in the lemon juice.
  12. Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost each cupcake generously.
  13. Garnish each cupcake with a fresh strawberry slice and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
  14. Serve and enjoy your Scrumptious Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes!
