Lemon Cupcakes with Icing and Berries Recipe

Lemon cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are ideal for any occasion. The tangy lemon flavor complements the sweet and creamy icing perfectly, while the mixed berries add a burst of freshness and color.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the topping, combine 1/2 cup mixed berries
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
Two large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Cupcake liners should be used to line a muffin tin.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
One at a time, beat in the eggs, followed by the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely before icing.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, and lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
Spread the icing on the cooled cupcakes and top with a few mixed berries.
Serve and have fun.
