Description

Light, fluffy, and zesty cupcakes made easily with lemon-lime soda, perfect for a refreshing and fun dessert.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Frosting of choice (lemon, lime, or vanilla)
  • Optional: lemon or lime slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, lemon-lime soda, eggs, vegetable oil, and lemon zest.
  3. Mix until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
  4. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
  7. Frost with your choice of frosting and garnish with lemon or lime slices if desired.

Notes
