Clementine Cupcakes

These take longer then the average cupcake, but they are so tasty and pretty!  I buy a bag of the "cuties" for this recipe and end up using the entire bag! 



Clementine Cupcakes

1 package White Cake Mix
3/4 C Water
4 egg whites
1/2 C Clementine Juick (5 - 6
Clementines)
1/4 C Canola Oil
1 t grated Clementine Peel
4 clementines, peeled, sectioned with memb
rane removed - put in a separate bowl. 

Frosting
1/3 C butter, softened

3 C powdered sugar
1/2 t grated clementine peel
6 - 8 t clementine juice

Garnish
Chocolate Candy Coating
24 clementine sections

Preheat oven to 350*.  In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg whites, water, clementine juice, oil & grated peel.  Bet for 2 - 3 minutes.  Line a muffin tin with paper cup, Fill cups 1/2 full.  Place a section or 2 of the peeled, membra
ne removed clementines in the muffin cup, push down slightly with your finger.  The muffin will bake over the clementine for a nice surprise in the middle of the cupcake!  Bake for 20 minutes.  Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove. 

While the muffins are baking / cooling, melt the candy coating in the microwave until smooth.  Dip each clementine section 1/2 way, place on waxed paper to dry. 

In a smaller bowl, whip the butter until fluffy, add the powdered sugar, clementine peel and juice until frosting consistency is ready to spread.  Frost the cupcakes. 

Add a dipped clementine to the top of each cupcake.  Makes 2 dozen.

Smacznego!
