TRIPLE-CITRUS CUPCAKES
A trio of citrus zests brightens simple cupcakes. The ones pictured are finished with lime-flavored glaze and finely grated lime zest, but lemons or oranges could replace the lime. Or, for a particularly pretty display, divide the glaze into thirds and flavor each portion with a different citrus, with garnishes to match.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flour and salt.
- With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl every few minutes. Add citrus zests. Reduce speed to medium, and add vanilla. Add eggs, three at a time, beating until until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in four batches, beating until completely incorporated after each.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full; tap pans on countertop once to distribute batter. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 10 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored up to 2 days at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
- To finish, dip tops of cupcakes in glaze, then turn over quickly and garnish with zest. Cupcakes are best eaten the day they are glazed; keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that the cupcakes bake evenly.
- Use fresh citrus fruits for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh citrus, you can use bottled citrus juice, but the flavor will be slightly less intense.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on the size of your cupcakes.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These triple citrus cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture and zesty citrus flavor, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and citrusy treat, give these triple citrus cupcakes a try!
