Ingredients

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup), softened
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Special equipment: 4 mini muffin tins and 48 mini muffin paper cupcake liners

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the mini tins with paper liners.

In a large bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, egg whites and vegetable oil. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients until combined and creamy. Add the cake mix and water and mix until smooth, about 3 minutes. Fill the mini cups to just below the rim and bake until puffed and golden, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly in the tin then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack.

Meanwhile, puree the strawberries in a blender or small food processor. Place the powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the strawberry puree and whisk until smooth. Top the cooled cupcakes with the strawberry glaze. Let the cupcakes sit for a few minutes for the glaze to firm up, then serve.

    I made this recipe twice thinking that I messed up the first time. I made sure I followed the recipe exactly as written. Both times, however, my cupcakes caved in after I took them out of the oven. I used the Duncan Hines cake mix. On the box it instructs you to use 3 egg whites, but in Giada's recipe it lists 2 egg whites. Not sure if the brand of cake mix or number of egg whites made the difference? I was so disappointed since I've been very impressed with Giada's other recipes.

    Loved the cupcakes! They were moist and had a melt in your mouth feeling. The icing runs so becareful how much you put on the cupcake cause you will be cleaning up a sticky mess if you put to much on them. But the homemade icing taste was good. I brought some for my co-workers and they loved them. I will for sure make this recipe again!

    absolutely love these CREAMY cupcakes - i replace the white cake mix with cherry cake mix and call them "cherry berry bites" for a friend who is allergic to strawberries - i use frozen raspberries instead...these are so delightful and folks keep asking for them
