These watermelon cupcakes will be perfect for any summer event. They're tender and sweet with a hint of watermelon flavor. The frosting is rich, creamy, sweet, and delicious on top of the cupcakes. Watermelon and cupcakes are the usual picnic fare. Combine the two and you have a really great fresh taste. We loved these cupcakes...

1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz softened)
1 box Dominos confectioners' sugar
1/2 c watermelon pulp (well squeezed)
watermelon juice, to taste

My granddaughter and I bake together each week. She was inspired by her mommy's flavored syrups, so we came up with these watermelon cupcakes. If you are not going to pipe the frosting, you can reduce the amount of frosting by half. -Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg whites
½ cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk (I used skim)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
leaf green food coloring by wilton (or similar light green food coloring)
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (1 1/2 cups)
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp powdered watermelon kool aid mix
small amount of red gel food coloring (to give the buttercream a pinkish color)
mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the butter and sugar, beat using an electric mixer, 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add in the egg whites, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly with the electric mixer. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a few spoonfuls at a time. Mix until just incorporated. Add in a small amount of Wilton's "leaf green" gel food coloring until you get your desired green color. Fill the muffin liners 1/2-3/4 full.
  • Bake for 17-19 minutes at 350º F or until a few moist crumbs remain on a toothpick when inserted into the center. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding the frosting.
  • In a mixing bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and the watermelon kool aid powder, beat together.
  • Add in more powdered sugar as you see fit, up to 2 more cups,
  • A small amount of red food coloring (to give the frosting a pinkish color), mixing one last time with an electric mixer until it's smooth and combined.
  • Place the buttercream in a large piping bag fit with a 1m wilton piping tip. Push the buttercream down into the bag. Pipe the buttercream onto the cupcakes, starting in the center of the cupcake, swirling out, and then swirling back into the center, progressively stacking the frosting as you get to the center.
  • Add mini chocolate chips on top of the buttercream.
