  • Yield: 12,12 cupcakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour (This forms the base of the cupcakes, contributing to their fluffy texture.)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder (Essential for helping the cupcakes rise and become light and airy.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (A pinch enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Softened to room temperature, this adds richness and moisture to the batter.)
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar (Provides just the right amount of sweetness to complement the lemon tang.)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest (Freshly grated, it infuses the cupcakes with a vibrant citrus flavor.)
  • 3 large Large eggs (Whisked, they help bind the ingredients and add moisture.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Adds a warm, comforting note that rounds out the flavor profile.)
  • 1/2 cup Milk (Contributes to the moisture and softness of the cupcakes.)
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream (Enhances the richness and creates a tender crumb.)
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed, this gives a punch of tartness that defines the cupcake flavor.)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Softened but still slightly firm, for a creamy and easy-to-spread frosting.)
  • 2 cups Powdered sugar (The main sweetener for the frosting, ensuring a smooth consistency.)
  • 23 tablespoons Whipping cream (Optional, helps achieve the desired thickness and creaminess in the frosting.)
