Hi ladies! For those of you who aren't aware, I'm a huge cupcake lover. I'm literally obsessed. They are the cutest, most tasty dessert in my books, and I always enjoy finding new recipes to make different kinds of cupcakes. As summer is approaching, citrus fruits are becoming more popular. There's just something about a fresh orange or lemon that screams "summer"! So today, my random recipe is going to be for lemon meringue cupcakes :) And they taste just as delicious as they sound, trust me.
What You Will Need:
Cake
1. One package lemon cake mix (regular size)
2. 1-1/3 cups water
3. 1/3 cup canola oil
4. 3 eggs
5. 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
6. 1 cup lemon creme pie filling
Meringue
1. 3 egg whites
2. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3. 1/2 cup sugar
How To Make It:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and lemon peel.
Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then beat on medium for 3 minutes.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a very small tip.
Fill with pie filling, and push the tip into the top of each cupcake to fill.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
Pipe over tops of cupcakes.
Bake at 400 for 5-8 minutes or until meringue is golden brown.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
