SPINACH CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 6-cup standard muffin tin (or the 6 middle cups of a 12-cup tin) with cooking spray and set aside. Whisk together the heavy cream and eggs in a large bowl and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Add the leftover creamed spinach and thoroughly combine.

Allow to cool to just warm or room temperature before frosting.
• Meanwhile, add the feta and cream cheese to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until light and fluffy. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE OLIVE OIL CUPCAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the candied lemon: Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Thinly slice the lemon into rounds, about ⅛-¼-inch-thick, removing the seeds.
• In a medium shallow skillet, combine the water and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the lemon slices to the syrup, and simmer until the flesh of the lemons begins to turn translucent, about 15 minutes.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until just combined.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, and red food coloring.
• Add the egg white mixture to the batter and mix on medium-low speed until smooth.
• Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way.
• Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Make the lemon buttercream: In a large bowl, combine the butter, cream cheese, salt, vanilla, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Mix with an electric hand mixer on low speed until smooth. Transfer to a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off or a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
