How to Make Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes Semi Homemade

  1. Zest and juice one lime. In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine the lime zest, lime juice (about 2 tablespoons), and 1/4 cup of rum.
  2. Add enough water to the lime mixture to reach the 1 1/4 cup mark.
  3. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of white cake mix, the lime/rum/water mixture, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 3 large eggs. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
  4. Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove cupcakes from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, pipe or spread your favorite cool whip or frosting onto each cupcake.
  9. Garnish each cupcake with a quarter of a fresh strawberry and a sprinkle of grated lime zest.
