Red Velvet Creamcheese Cupcakes

Did I mention I love sweets? Oh yeah!! That sweet tooth of mine is sanging out loud this month!! LA LA LA LA LAAAAAA!! I've always been intrigued by this so called red velvet cake. Never had it before so when I came across this gem I said "Girl, you gots to do it." So I did!

1 box red velvet cake mix, Duncan Hines
2 8oz boxes of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
**cupcake liners**

Makes approx 24 cupcakes.

Preheat oven to 350. Place cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and lemon juice in medium bowl; beat with mixer on medium speed until smooth. Set aside. Prepare cake as per instructions on the box.

Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full of cake batter. Drop 2 teaspoons of cream cheese filling in the center of the batter.

Bake the cupcakes on center rack for about 25 minutes. Poke with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, their done! Let them cool and then remove from the pan. I let them finish cooling on a wire rack.

Store them in the fridge, covered for freshness.
