Mascarpone Strawberry Cupcakes are a twist on classic cupcakes. The mascarpone cheese adds a unique creamy flavor to the batter, making the cupcakes even more moist and decadent. The recipe uses frozen strawberries, but fresh strawberries work just as well. The cupcakes are perfect for special occasions or as a weekend treat for family and friends. The recipe yields 24 cupcakes that can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the fridge.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, mascarpone cheese, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.

4.	Fill cupcake papers 2/3 of the way full with batter.
5.	Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6.	In a large mixing bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar and mascarpone cheese together until smooth and creamy.
7.	Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, pipe or spread the frosting on top of the cupcakes.
8.	Decorate with fresh strawberries on top.
