Tips for Perfect White Chocolate Lemon Cupcakes:
- Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your cupcakes. Use the best white chocolate you can find, and make sure your lemons are fresh and juicy.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cupcake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together: This will help to ensure that the cupcakes are light and fluffy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or too thin.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Do not overbake the cupcakes, as this will make them dry.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
