From my kitchen
I made some lemon cupcakes that turned out quite yummy. I have made them twice, once with lemon cupcakes and once with vanilla but both times I made lemon butter cream frosting. Here's the recipe: Vanilla cupcakes (makes 1 doz) 1 1/2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 8 T unsalted butter at room temp 1/2 cup sour cream 1 large egg, room temp (you can place the whole egg in warm water to assist in this) 2 large egg yolks, room temp 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Heat oven to 350. >In separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. >In mixer cream butter, sour cream, egg, egg yolks and vanilla. >Add dry ingredients and beat on medium until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and mix by hand until smooth and no flour pockets remain. >Divide batter evenly among paper cups in tin. Bake until tops are pale gold and tooth pick comes out clean. , about 17-20 minutes Cool cupcakes out of tin and on cooling rack. Alternative Vanilla...
