Another long-overdue post from uh, back in April. >_>

Lemon Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting


Ingredients:
(Cupcakes)

  • 2 1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar

  • zest from 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 8 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract

(Frosting)

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • powdered sugar
  • strawberry jam (although you could probably use any jam you wanted?)

Instructions:

  1. (Cupcakes) Preheat oven to 350. Wash and zest lemon in large bowl with the sugar. Rub zest with sugar until sugar is moist.
  2. Separate egg whites into a small bowl and mix with milk. Add butter to sugar and lemon zest and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and lemon juice and keep beating.
  3. Sift in 1/3 dry ingredients. Mix. Add half the milk and eggs. Mix again. Continue alternating dry and wet ingredients until everything’s incorporated and mixed well.
  4. Divide batter into ~24 muffin cups and bake for 18-22 minutes.
  5. (Frosting) Beat butter with powdered sugar and jam until fluffy. Spread onto cupcakes and serve!
