Pink Lemonade Cupcakes











I had been doing the experiments of attempting to make the right Pink Lemonade Cupcakes. Couple months ago, Sophia and I decided to make the batter by adapting the recipe from someone else's cooking blog. I decided out of the heck by adding more pink lemonade liquid from 3/4 cup to 1 cup to increase more burst flavors. After baking this, it turned out a BIG MISTAKE- Too tart and bitter flavor.

This time, I decided to try again by making the pink lemonade and chocolate cupcakes for Sophia's classmates to share to celebrate her birthday at the school. Sophia and I decided to decrease the pink lemonade liquid from 1 cup to 2/3 cup (not 3/4).

After baking this, we had tasted it and it turned out SO PERFECT! Oooo.. those sweet flavor of pink lemonade with white cake mix that blend together that created just so perfect!

After I picked up my girls at the school and was amazed that lots of kids LOVED the pink lemonade cupcakes even a few of boys too. It would be a great treats for all kids to enjoy those summery cupcakes. I would make it again for SURE ;).

It had created a shortcut to make it really easy and simple to make.

Ingredients for the cupcake batter:
1 box of classic white cake mix
4 white eggs
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2/3 cup of frozen (thaw) pink lemonade
Couple drops of Red Color to make it as pink

Mix it altogether until the batter becomes smoothly. Pour the batters into the cupcake liners. Bake it at 350 degree until it's fully cooked (you will know by insert the knife and it comes out clean)

Frosting:
1 can of classic white vanilla frosting
Couple tablespoons of frozen (thaw) pink lemonade
Couple drops of Red Color (to make it as pink too)

Mix it altogether. You can slowly add couple few more tablespoon until reach the desire of the right flavor for you. I usually add like perhaps 4 to 6 tablespoons of 'em. It will looks like "glazing" when you spread it on the cupcakes but it will dry it up later in the next day.

Enjoy it!
