I was trying to come up with something to give to my Sunday school class for Valentine's Day. I knew 1st and 2nd graders would like cupcakes but I wanted something with a different twist. With ingredients I had in my pantry I came up with this one. These came out a pretty pink color and the lime added a slight tangy flavor. Hope you enjoy it.
Strawberry-Lime Heart Cakes with Lime Glaze
1 box white cake mix with pudding in the mix
small box of sugar free strawberry jello
3 large eggs
1/3 cup of canola oil
1/3 cup of lime juice
1 cup of milk or water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. Spray heart shaped silicone muffin pans with baking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of cake mixture in each well. Bake 15 - 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven after cake tester inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto wire rack to cool.
Glaze
4 cups confectioners sugar
4 Tbs. lime juice
lime zest to taste (optional)
Stir ingredients together until smooth and dip cakes in while slightly warm.
Yields 26 heart shaped cakes.
