RECIPES
Luscious Lemon Cupcakes
Cupcakes
2 layer lemon cake mix
1 pkg (3.4 oz) INSTANT lemon pudding mix
4 eggs
1 ¼ cup of water
½ cup of oil
Frosting
1 tub of Coolwhip brand vanilla whipped frosting (make sure not to get the whipped topping)
1 jar (10 oz) lemon curd
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tins. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water and oil. Mix on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes. Fill cupcake tins approximately 2/3 full and bake for 15-17 minutes. Check for doneness at 15 minutes by lightly pressing on cupcakes. They should spring back at your touch. Cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting: Empty the contents of the Coolwhip vanilla frosting into a large bowl. Open the lemon curd and add entire contents to the bowl of whipped frosting. Fold together until completely mixed. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously with lemon frosting. Enjoy!!
