Could be the strangest thing I have blogged to date but seemed far too interesting to omit.
The recipe comes from the website advertising Margarita Texas Mix and actually sounds delicious even though I am not a cupcake fan...oh hell..there's alcohol in the recipe so of course I would LOVE them!
Ingredients:
Cupcakes
9 oz of Margarita Texas Mix
3 oz clear tequila
3/4 oz Grand Marnier
1 box white cake mix
3 large egg whites
3 tbl canola oil
1 tbl sangria
Lime Buttercream Icing
2 sticks unsalted butter (room temp)
5-6 cups powdered sugar
2 tbl fresh lime juice
1 tsp grated lime zest
pinch of salt
Lime slices for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 and place paper cupcake liners in 2 cupcake baking pans (makes 24)
CUPCAKES: Whisk together margarita mix, tequila and Grand Marnier in a bowl. Measure out and reserve 1-1/4 cups for this recipe.
POUR THE REST OVER ICE AND DRINK WHILE CUPCAKES BAKE!
In a large bowl blend cake mix, egg whites, oil, 1 tbl of lime zest and reserved margarita mix. Blend on low for about 30 seconds then on high for 2 minutes. The batter will still be a bit lumpy.
Spoon batter 3/4 full into 24 cupcake tins. Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpicks come out clean. Remove to a rack and completely cool.
ICING:
Place butter in a bowl and beat until it's fluffy. Add 5 cups of powdered sugar, salt, lime juice and 1 tbl lime zest. Mix until creamy. You may want to add more powdered sugar to make it creamy and good for frosting. Ice the cupcakes and garnish with a lime slice.
I know...REALLY!!!!!????
ENJOY!
