Make mini cakes for maximum satisfaction. Cake mix and ready-to-spread
frosting make prep super easy.
Prep Time:40 min
Start to Finish:1 hr 50 min
Makes:48 cupcakes
Topping
1 box (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup Key lime or regular lime juice
4 drops green food color
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Cupcakes
48 regular-size paper baking cups
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Frosting
1 container Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting
1 tablespoon Key lime or regular lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grated Key lime or regular lime peel
In large bowl, beat pudding mix and whipping cream with wire whisk 2 minutes.
Let stand 3 minutes. Beat in 1/4 cup Key lime juice and the food color; stir in
powdered sugar until smooth.. Cover and refrigerate.
Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup
in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box.
Spoon about 1 rounded tablespoonful batter into each muffin cup, using about
half of the batter. (Muffin cups will be about 1/3 full.) Refrigerate remaining
batter. Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining baking cups and
batter. Cool cupcakes completely, about 15 minutes.
Remove paper baking cups from cupcakes. Swirl about 2 teaspoons topping on top
of each cupcake.
Stir frosting in container 20 times. Gently stir in 1 tablespoon Key lime
juice and the lime peel. Spoon frosting into 1-quart resealable food-storage
plastic bag. Cut 1/2-inch opening from bottom corner of bag. Squeeze 1 rounded
teaspoonful frosting from bag onto topping. Garnish with fresh lime wedge, if
desired. Store in refrigerator.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Divide batter in half. Distribute 1/2 batter
evenly among 24 muffin cups. Refrigerate remaining batter, and repeat process.
