The absolutely perfect summer treat! And the best part, it’s a cheat recipe! Using a boxed cake as your base makes this one super easy. Pair them up with some real daiquiris and some good friends, and you’ve got yourself a party.
My cupcakes were “virgin” cupcakes, but you can certainly add a little rum to the batter/icing to spice it up a bit.
Ingredients:
One box of white cake mix
¾ can of Bacardi Strawberry Margarita/Daiquiri frozen mix
vegetable oil and egg whites, as they call for on the box
1 (8oz) container frozen whipped topping, such as Cool Whip
Strawberries for garnish
Strawberry syrup/liqueur
Coarse sugar crystals (white or pink)
Umbrellas/Straws
Line your cupcake tin with papers and preheat your oven to 350°F.In a large bowl, add cake mix, the strawberry daiquiri mix, oil & eggs.
Beat together for a few minutes, and pour into your cupcake wrappers.
Bake approximately 15-17 minutes. Cupcakes will be extremely moist and sticky because of the daiquiri mix. This is normal- don’t mistake it for undercooked and over bake them!
While cupcakes cool, using a low setting on your mixer, beat together the Cool Whip and a shot of strawberry syrup/liqueur. (Tip- I was out of Strawberry syrup when I was making these, so I subbed in Raspberry. It tasted great and no one knew the difference.)
Frost cupcakes generously, making sure to cover entire cupcake.
Roll cupcake’s rim in sugar to mimic the sugar on a cocktail glass. Cut a straw in half or use an umbrella to make cupcake more cocktail-like. Slice a strawberry for garnish.Keep refrigerated, loosely covered until ready to eat. If they are in the humidity or covered too tightly in the fridge, the cake will pull away from the paper because of the moisture.
Grab a cocktail and a cupcake, and enjoy your summer day!
