In honor of SUMMER, I thought it would be a good time to share my favorite cupcake recipe. Lemonade Cupcakes are from a 2004 issue of Southern Living that are delish! Bec made them last Sunday for Father's Day and they hit the spot.



LEMONADE CUPCAKES
Yield: Makes 30 cupcakes


Ingredients
1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 (18.25-ounce) package white cake mix
1 (8-ounce) carton sour cream
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
1 (12-ounce) can cream cheese frosting
Garnishes: chewy candies, colored sugar, and candy sprinkles


Preparation
Remove 2 tablespoons lemonade concentrate from can, and reserve for another use.
Combine remaining concentrate, cake mix, and next 3 ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until moistened. Beat at high speed 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides. Spoon batter into 30 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full.
Bake at 350° for 22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; cool completely on wire rack. Spread evenly with frosting. Garnish, if desired
