Hey everyone, it’s Jim, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, lemon cupcakes. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I am going to make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Lemon cupcakes is one of the most popular of recent trending foods on earth. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. Lemon cupcakes is something which I’ve loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.

If you want to make these cupcakes even more delicious and lemon-y than they already are, you can add lemon curd filling to the center of each one. Homemade lemon curd can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for a couple of months. I always make a double batch, freeze it, and thaw as much as I.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook lemon cupcakes using 14 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Lemon cupcakes:
  1. Make ready 2 1/2 cups flour
  2. Take 2 cups sugar
  3. Make ready 3 tsp baking powder
  4. Take 1 tsp salt
  5. Prepare 1/2 cup milk
  6. Get 1/2 cup buttermilk
  7. Make ready 1/2 cup oil
  8. Make ready Zest of 2 lemons
  9. Take 2 eggs
  10. Make ready 1 cup water
  11. Prepare 200 g butter
  12. Make ready Icing sugar
  13. Get Vanilla extract
  14. Make ready Gel food colouring (optional)

Adding too much flour to the recipe is the most common mistake. The best and easiest way to measure flour is by using a scale. THE LEMON CUPCAKES: So, I started with that vanilla cupcake recipe, and just made a few easy swaps. Instead of vanilla, we're using a combination of lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon extract.

Steps to make Lemon cupcakes:
  1. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl
  2. Combine the wet ingredients except the water in a medium sized bowl. Whisk all together
  3. Create a well in the dry ingredients then add the wet in the centre
  4. Mix in well
  5. Add the water then mix
  6. Grease the cupcake cases lightly and add the mixture
  7. Bake at 175 * c for 15-17 minutes
  8. Whisk the butter in a stand mixer or you can use the hand one. Until fluffy. Add icing sugar little by little until you get the desired sweetness. Then add vanilla extract
  9. Colour a majority of the buttercream with a small amount of green gel food colouring.
  10. Use the grass tip (large with many holes) hold above the cupcake without letting it touch and squeeze. (make sure the cupcake has cooled)
  11. For the Roses colour some buttercream pink and use the small swirl tip and make small tight circular motions.
  12. For the blue flowers use the star tip and simply squeeze lightly.
  13. And the yellow plants simply find the crescent shaped top and also squeeze lightly

There's no doubt about it, these are LEMON cupcakes. You can taste that bright, citrus flavor in every bite. Like a perfectly moist lemon cake—in adorable cupcake form—this recipe more than satisfies a sweet tooth. (Even total chocolate devotees will be asking for another.) The dessert comes together in exactly an hour, and that's by design. We devised a from-scratch batter and icing that are both simple enough to whip up on a weeknight. You'll use an electric mixer to make the dough, then.
