Whenever I can, I like a shortcut…as long as the end product is presentable and delicious. These lemon cupcakes are light and tender with creamy raspberry buttercream, definitely presentable and delicious!
Lemon Cupcakes:
1 (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1 can (15.75 oz) lemon pie filling
3 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350°. Put cupcake liners (makes 24) in cupcake pan. In large bowl with electric mixer, mix cake mix, lemon pie filling, eggs, oil, and milk. Scoop batter evenly into prepared cupcake pans. Bake for 18 minutes or until set in center. Cool in pan 5 minutes, remove to wire rack and cool completely.

4 Tbl seedless raspberry jam
5 cups powdered sugar
