Strawberry Shortycakes:
3/4 cup angel food cake mix
3/4 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
3/4 cup all-fruit strawberry preserves
3/4 cup sliced fresh or frozen (thawed) strawberries
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups (ungreased).
Place cake mix in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup water. Using an electric mixer, beat at low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and mix for 1 minute. Let batter sit for 2 minutes.
Evenly distribute batter among baking cups and bake for 12-15 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
Cool cupcakes completely, then carefully peel from baking cups and plate them. Top each cupcake with 1 tablespoon of preserves, 1 tablespoon of Cool Whip and garnish with strawberries.
