Ruby slipper cupcakes are just like the classic ruby slipper bundt cake made with a moist yellow cake that has layers of cherry or raspberry Jell-O gelatin flavoring in the middle and topped with whipped cream.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin pans with 24 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl beat together eggs, water, sour cream, and cake mix with a hand mixer for 2 minutes until smooth.
Add 1 tablespoon of batter to each cupcake liner. Spread the batter with the back of a spoon so that it’s covering the entire bottom of the liner.
Carefully sprinkle ⅛th of a teaspoon Jell-O gelatin powder into the center of batter in each liner. Add ½ tablespoon batter on top of the Jell-O gelatin powder so that it’s completely covered. Repeat x1 the layering of ⅛th teaspoon of Jell-O powder in the center followed by another ½ tablespoon of batter and ensure each cupcake does not have powder showing.
Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until they are lightly golden and the tops spring back when lightly touched.
Whipped Cream Frosting
Make the whipped cream frosting according to the Dream Whip package directions. Frost the cupcakes once they've fully cooled. Store decorated cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
