Impress at holiday parties with festive cupcakes topped with pomegranate seeds.
Ingredients:
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 egg whites
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate)
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 6 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
  • Fresh mint sprigs, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups, grease and flour, or spray with baking spray with flour.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, cream shortening with sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg whites, one at a time, then add vanilla. Gradually mix in flour mixture and milk, alternating between the two, until just combined. Fold in pomegranate seeds.
  • Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 of the way up.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes from pans and place them on cooling racks to cool.
  • Top each cupcake with a generous sprinkle of 1 teaspoon pomegranate seeds. Display on a platter and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
