If you've been to Red Robin in the last year, you've noticed they now have cupcakes and they turned their signature drink, the Freckled Lemonade, into a cupcake. I love them! I had to recreate them myself.
1 Lemon Cake mix, prepared according to box instructions
12-18 fresh strawberries, divided
strawberry preserves
strawberry frosting
24 lemon twists or grated lemon peel
1. Line 24 baking cups with paper liners.
2. Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Using a small scoop (I used the small one by Pampered Chef-melon ball size) scoop two scoops of cake mix into each liner.
3. Place 1/4 strawberry on top (don't press down) and top with 1 tsp. strawberry preserves. Top with one additional scoop of cake mix, covering berry and preserves. Bake in oven according to instructions for cupcakes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
4. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes in pan and then finish cooling on wire rack.
5. Frosting-you can mix in the grated lemon peel into your strawberry frosting or use the twists for a garnish on top of the cupcakes.
6. Frost the cupcakes with frosting. Top each with 1/4 or 1/2 strawberry (depending on berry size and lemon twist).
