These sweet and festive Watermelon Cupcakes are a summer time delight! They're easy to make and swirled with pretty-in-pink frosting.
Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 1 box (18.25 ounce) white cake mix
- 1 box (3 ounce) lime Jello (not sugar free)
- 3 egg whites
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cup water
For the Topping:
- 8 ounce white chocolate, melted
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon Koolaid powdered mix (watermelon flavor)
- 3-4 Tablespoons milk
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- For the cake, add cake mix, jello, egg whites, oil and water in a mixing bowl. Beat 2 minutes until blended. Fill cupcake liners ⅔ full and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Do not overbake. Allow to cool completely.
- When cooled, spread melted white chocolate over top of each cupcake. While that sets, begin your frosting.
- In mixer, beat butter with powdered sugar, Koolaid mix and milk. Beat for about 3-5 minutes until fluffy and smooth. Using a decorator bag and tip (I used 6S), pipe frosting on each cupcake and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. ENJOY!
