Mascarpone Mini Cupcakes With Strawberry Glaze

8 ounces mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup), softened
2 egg whites
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 box white cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
2 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the mini tins with paper
liners.  In a large bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, egg whites
and vegetable oil. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients until
combined and creamy.  Add the cake mix and water and mix until
smooth, about 3 minutes. Fill the mini cups to just below the rim
and bake until puffed and golden, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove
from the oven, let cool slightly in the tin then transfer the
cupcakes to a wire rack. Meanwhile, puree the strawberries in a
blender or small food processor. Place the powdered sugar in a
medium bowl. Pour in the strawberry puree and whisk until smooth.
Top the cooled cupcakes with the strawberry glaze. Let the cupcakes
sit for a few minutes for the glaze to firm up, then serve.
