Guests just love these yummy white cupcakes that are topped with a cream cheese frosting. The strawberry-blueberry garnish makes them the perfect treat for a patriotic-themed party on Memorial Day or Fourth of July. �Judy Kenninger, Brownsburg, Indiana
Ingredients:
� 5 large egg whites
� 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons stick margarine or butter, softened
� 1 cup sugar, divided
� 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
� 2-1/4 cups cake flour
� 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
� 1/2 teaspoon salt
� 3/4 cup milk
�
� ICING:
� 4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
� 1/3 cup stick margarine or butter, softened
� 2 cups confectioners' sugar
� 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
� Assorted berries
Directions:
1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In another bowl, cream margarine and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
2. Beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold a fourth of the egg whites into batter; fold in remaining whites.
3. With a spoon, gently fill foil- or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350� for 18-22 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. For icing, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and margarine until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Frost cupcakes. Top with berries.
