Ingredients

  • 1 box of vanilla cake mix
  • 1 bottle of guava jelly
  • 8 oz of cream cheese room temperature
  • cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 8 oz of cool whip thawed
  • Cupcake liners

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven according to your box mix.
  • Prepare your vanilla cake mix as directed by the box. Feel free to substitute the water for milk if the mix calls for it.
  • Once the mix is ready, add 5 tablespoons of the guava jelly or marmalade to the mix and stir to combine.
  • Evenly add your mix into a cup cake tray with liners in place.
  • Cook as directed by the package and until you can stick a knife or toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
  • While your cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. To do so, add your room temperature cream cheese to a bowl and the sugar. Use a mixer to beat the cream cheese until it’s fluffy. Add the vanilla and mix. Slowly fold in the cool whip. Set aside.
  • Once your cupcakes are cooled, carefully cut out the center of the cupcake with a knife into a cone shape. Fill the inside with the guava jelly or marmalade. Top off with your cream cheese frosting and enjoy!
