Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put your liners into the cupcake pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, add egg whites, oil, buttermilk, Sprite, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
• Add cake mix and mix until smooth and there aren’t any lumps.
• Fill each liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.

• Frosting: Whip the butter and cream cheese for about a minute. Add lemon juice, lime zest, and lemon zest and continue to whip.
• Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until it’s the right consistency. If it’s too soft to decorate with, add a little more sugar, or if it’s too thick add a little milk.
