Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes:
  • 1 box of Cake Mix , I used Lemon, but you can use whichever one you want
  • 1 cup Nonfat Plain Yogurt , I used Dannon
  • 1 cup Water
For the Frosting:
  • 8 whole Strawberries
  • 1 (8 oz.) package Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 stick butter , softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

For the Cupcakes:
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Line a cupcake pan with cupcake papers; set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the cake mix, yogurt, and water.
  • Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
  • Pour the cupcake mixture into the cupcake pan.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
For the Frosting:
  • Place a bowl under a strainer or a colander.
  • Put the strawberries inside the colander and mash with a potato masher.
  • Let the strawberries drain, otherwise your frosting will be watery. I drained them for close to an hour. Then I drank the drained strawberry juice. :)
  • In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add in the powdered sugar, gradually, and the mashed/drained strawberries.
  • Continue to mix on medium-low speed until the sugar and strawberries are well incorporated, and the frosting is smooth.
  • If the frosting is a bit runny because the strawberries didn't drain well, place the frosting in a plastic container, cover, and put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
  • The frosting makes 3 cups.
