Instructions

1

Prepare and Mix Batter

Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lining two muffin tins with paper liners. In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, lemon gelatin, egg whites, and canola oil. Use a hand mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds to get everything started, then crank it up to medium and beat the batter for another two minutes until it’s smooth. Spoon the batter into the liners, filling each about halfway.

2

Fill Cupcakes with Cream

Pop the cupcakes into the oven and bake for around 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely—at least half an hour—before moving on. While they cool, whip up the filling by mixing the milk and cheesecake pudding mix with a hand mixer until it thickens and looks creamy. Spoon this into a piping bag with a small tip, then gently poke a hole in each cupcake and fill them until you see the pudding start to puff out.

3

Make and Spread Frosting

For the frosting, beat together the powdered sugar, butter, and lemonade concentrate until it’s smooth and fluffy. Spread a generous layer over each cupcake, and you’re all set to enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these cupcakes chilled or at room temperature for the best taste. They pair wonderfully with a cup of iced tea or a glass of sparkling water. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lemon slice for a pretty presentation.

Storage Tips

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. If frozen, wrap them individually and thaw at room temperature before serving.
