Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups (163g) all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
3/4 cups (155g) sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
6 tbsp (90ml) milk
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
1 cup (224g) unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cups (460g) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4-5 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a pan with cupcake liners.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Add the butter, oil, sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
  • Combine the milk and lemon juice, then slowly add the mixture to the batter along with the lemon zest and mix until well combined.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix just until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.
  • Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove cupcakes from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
  • When the cupcakes have cooled, make the buttercream. Add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
  • Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract, 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice and the lemon zest to the frosting and mix until well combined.
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar and salt and mix until well combined and smooth. Add additional lemon juice as needed to get the right consistency and flavor.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. I used Ateco tip 844.
  • Cupcakes are best when stored well covered and eaten within 2-3 days. They can be left at room temperature for about 24 hours, then refrigerated. Serve at room temperature.

LEMON CUPCAKES

Here is a recipe I use for beautifully delicious lemon cupcakes. Ideally, you'd use buttercream frosting to ice cupcakes, but I tried these with Lemon Cream Icing for a less buttery icing, and they were perfect! These cupcakes are truly lighter than air and will melt in your mouth.

Time 1h25m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups self-rising flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup whole milk, divided
2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2 cups chilled heavy cream
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 30 cupcake pan cups with paper liners.
  • Sift the self-rising flour and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  • Gently beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, one third at a time, alternating with half the milk and half the lemon juice after each of the first 2 additions of flour. Beat until just combined; do not over mix.
  • Fill the prepared cupcake liners with batter 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a rack.
  • To make the icing, beat the cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer set on Low until the cream begins to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice, a little at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated. Increase the mixer speed to High, and beat until the icing forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes. Spread on the cooled cupcakes. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • For the perfect cupcakes, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the cupcakes will rise over the tops of the liners and make a mess.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cupcakes need to bake longer.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead.
  • You can decorate the cupcakes with any type of frosting you like. Cream cheese frosting, vanilla buttercream, and lemon glaze are all popular choices.
  • For a special touch, you can top the cupcakes with fresh lemon zest or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
