- White Cake Mix (plus ingredients to make the cake...usually eggs, oil, and water)
- Frozen Iced Tea Concentrate (you'll be replacing the amount of water it calls for...and you'll want it to be thawed too)
- Store bought White Icing
- Butter (room temperate...around 1/2 cup....but it's up to you)
- Icing Sugar (optional)
- 1-2 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice (optional)
- 1 tsp Fresh Lemon Zest (optional)
- Garnish Ideas: cut down straw, fresh lemon slice, lemon peel curl
Step 1: First things first, thaw your Iced Tea Concentrate because it's pretty hard to mix it in frozen! Once it's a liquid, you can start making your batter.
Step 2: For the most part, follow the direction of your White Cake Mix - preheat your oven and add in your eggs and oil, but replace the water with your Iced Tea Concentrate. Mix the batter until it is smooth.
Step 3: Spoon the batter into your cupcake liners and bake as directed on package. Once done, cool completely before icing
Step 4: For the icing, mix together your vanilla icing and butter on high until smooth. Taste your icing and if it's not sweet enough for you or too buttery add in some icing sugar. If you'd like to keep your icing plain, then you're done! If you'd like a lemony kick to it, add a tsp of Fresh Lemon Zest and 1-2 tsp of Fresh Lemon Juice. It's really up to you and how lemony you want your cupcake to be and if you want to add the zest or pulp in the icing.
Step 5: With the icing all mixed together, it's time to top your cupcake with the sweet or lemony icing. Add as little or as much of your icing as you'd like. You can use a piping bag or whatever icing method you prefer. To garnish your cupcake you could try cutting down a straw and sticking it in the icing with a fresh lemon slice or just top it with a fresh lemon curl.
Happy Faking!
