Watermelon Buttercream Frosting Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

Directions for White Cake Mix:

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Add miniature or chopped up chocolate chips to batter, as well as red gel food coloring.
  • Bake at 350 F in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes for cupcakes.
  • I always check my cakes using the ole tooth pick comes clean then it's done routine.

Directions for Watermelon Frosting:

  • I tried beating the butter, shortening and pulp together and had a terrible time with it.
  • I would highly recommend, beating the butter and shortening together first.
  • Then add the pulp and mix it in.
  • Add each cup of sugar to the mix, while mixing in between each cup.
  • I added a bit of red gel food coloring to give the color more of a watermelon vibrant red.
  • Once the cupcakes are iced add the chocolate chips to the top.
