I'm sharing a recipe for Green Velvet cupcakes today with some Irish Breakfast tea.
This is a recipe from my archives, because I've been very sad because my youngest daughter-in-law's dear mother, passed away from cancer this weekend. Please pray for Kristen and her sisters who were all with her as she took her last breath. I was hoping to go to Houston with Kristen the next week, but God was ready for her now.
Yield: 24
Green Velvet Cupcakes
This is a pretty recipe to serve for St Patrick's Day! The frosting is really yummy, too.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix
- 2 oz. white chocolate, melted (Kraft kitchens actually used semi-sweet chocolate)
- 1 Tbsp. green food coloring (I used a few drops of gel colors of blue and yellow to get the bright green)
- 4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 jar (7 oz.) Marshmallow Creme
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 (8 oz.) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- HEAT oven to 350 degrees.
- PREPARE and bake cake batter as directed on package for 24 cupcakes, blending melted chocolate and food coloring into batter before spooning into prepared muffin cups. Cool completely.
- BEAT cream cheese, marshmallow creme and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add the thawed frozen whipped topping; beat just until blended.
- SPOON frosting mixture into resealable plastic bag. Cut corner off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe the mixture onto tops of cupcakes.
Thank you for your visit! xo
