Lime and Lemon Cupcake Recipe

For these zesty cupcakes I used my Lemon Muffin Recipe for the base then a sweet lemon and lime juice buttercream to intensify the flavours.

So here is the recipe for the moist vanilla cupcakes-

Ingredients to Frost 12 Cupcakes-

Buttercream Frosting:

• 280 grams confectioners’ sugar (icing or powdered sugar), sifted
• 113 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1-teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk or light cream
• Half the juice for one lemon
• Half the juice for one lime
• Green Food Colouring

• With an electric mixer beat butter until smooth.
• Then on low speed beat in icing sugar bit by bit until it is  smooth and very fluffy.
• Then if it is too thick add a bit of milk or if it is too thin add icing sugar until it is  the desired consistency.
• Then tint the icing at the gel or paste food  colouring.
• Now you can either pipe the icing on with the wilton 1m tip or neatly smooth the icing using a palette knife

Now serve, and enjoy! I hope you like the Lemon and Lime Cupcakes Recipe.
