Terrific Under Ten Tuesdays: Lemonade Cupcakes

March is like some sort of crazy Birthdaypalooza around here at our house.  It's our big month for birthdays.  Every year.  These family favorites have gone to school twice in the last week with our two birthday kiddos.  They are fresh, light, delicious, and easy.  And they make us all dream about summer.  I hope you'll enjoy them too ... with or without frosting.  They're a hit either way.





Lemonade Cupcakes
(based on a recipe from Recipezaar)


1 (6 oz.) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 (18.25 oz.) box white cake mix
1 (8 oz.) carton low fat sour cream
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 (12 oz.) can cream cheese frosting, optional


Preheat oven to 350º. Combine lemonade concentrate, cake mix, sour cream, cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with mixer until well blended. Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin tins, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 350º for about 20 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
