#41 Pink Strawberry Champagne Cupcakes

Thank you Betty Crocker!!!! This was a super easy, but extremely tasty recipe and if you're strapped for time. They don't take much time to whip up either. The recipe called for just plain pink champagne but I kicked it up a notch and used strawberry. The champagne flavor was not over powering and gave the cupcakes the perfect amount of strawberry flavor. And if your feeling a little thirsty and you have a little OJ laying around then you can make yourself a wonderful mimosa. MMMM!
Just remember- It's 5 o'clock somewhere!!!!

Keep in mind-you can always add more food color but you cant take away..... I learned this the hard way and ended up with HOT pink cupcakes!!!!


The Goods
1 box White Cake Mix
1 1/4 cups champagne (I used strawberry)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites room temp
pink gel food coloring


The How To
Preheat oven to 350degrees. In a large bowl combine cake mix an champagne.

Add oil, eggs and food coloring. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2mins.

If you don't have any food coloring on hand the strawberry champagne would give the batter a light pink shade.

Divide the batter evenly among the cups filling them about two thirds full. Bake 18mins rotating halfway
through the bake time. Let cool completely before frosting.
