STRAWBERRY MARGARITA CUPCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 12-count cupcake tins with cupcake liners. Set aside.

Pour into a microwave-safe bowl and place into the microwave for 45 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Once your puree has reduced to ½ or ¾ cup, set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together for 60 seconds on medium-high. Add in the cooled strawberry puree and Greek yogurt and mix. Add in the eggs and mix well.
• Fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Fill each cupcake mold ¾ full and bake for 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool.
• Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with the strawberry tequila lime buttercream. To garnish, cut halfway through a lime slice and gently twist it. Place it on top of the buttercream, slightly to one side so that there is room for a strawberry. If you have small strawberries, place one on top of each cupcake. If you have large strawberries, slice them in half and place a half onto each cupcake next to the lime.

BOOZY MARGARITA CAKE BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 10 x 13 baking pan and set aside. 2. Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside. 3. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, oil, eggs, 1/2 cup tequila, 1/4 cup triple sec and the juice and zest of 1 lime. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. 4. Spread the cake batter into a greased 10 x 13 pan and bake for 20-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 5. Allow cake to completely cool. 6. Once cooled, use 2 forks to break up the cake into small crumbs. Place cake crumbs in a large mixing bowl. 7. Add the tub of buttercream frosting, 1 Tablespoon tequila, 1 teaspoon triple sec, juice of one lime and powdered sugar to the cake crumbs. Mix well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes for easier handling. (Save the lime for lime zest in Step 12). 8. Shape the chilled cake mixture into 1 inch balls and place on the lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 45 minutes. (Freezing is important and eliminates any cake ball crumbs falling into the melted chocolate). 9. Melt the white candy melts in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally (or use a Wilton candy warmer). 10. Dip the chilled cake balls into the melted white chocolate. Insert a toothpick into each cake ball and spoon the chocolate all over to cover each ball. Allow any excess chocolate to run off each cake ball before placing on the lined cookie sheet. When you remove the toothpick from each cake ball, fill the small hole with melted chocolate from the spoon. 11. Immediately sprinkle with coarse sugar before the chocolate hardens. 12. Sprinkle lime zest on top of each sugared margarita cake ball. OPTIONAL: If you want more of a green color to your cake balls, melt 1/4 cup of Wilton bright green candy melts. Drizzle on top of each margarita cake ball. 13. Allow 20 minutes for the white chocolate to completely harden.
