Lemon Cup Cakes With Lemon Butter Cream Recipes

LEMON CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a pan with cupcake liners.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Add the butter, oil, sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
• Combine the milk and lemon juice, then slowly add the mixture to the batter along with the lemon zest and mix until well combined.
• Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix just until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.
• Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove cupcakes from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
• When the cupcakes have cooled, make the buttercream. Add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
• Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and well combined.
• Add the vanilla extract, 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice and the lemon zest to the frosting and mix until well combined.
• Add the remaining powdered sugar and salt and mix until well combined and smooth. Add additional lemon juice as needed to get the right consistency and flavor.
• Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. I used Ateco tip 844.
• Cupcakes are best when stored well covered and eaten within 2-3 days. They can be left at room temperature for about 24 hours, then refrigerated. Serve at room temperature.

LEMON CUPCAKES WITH LEMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• To make your Lemon Cupcakes, preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line 24 cupcake pan cups with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice and lemon zest.
• Gently mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture, one third at a time, alternating and add the milk. Beat until just combined; do not over mix.
• Fill the prepared cupcake liners with batter 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a rack.
• To make your Lemon Buttercream Frosting, in a medium sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and cream together on low speed until the powdered sugar and butter are completely combined. Add in a pinch of salt and then the lemon juice and zest.
• Continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is light and creamy. If frosting is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or milk to thin it out.

Dip top of each cookie into glaze, letting excess drip off. Place cookie right side up on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. Let stand about 30 minutes or until set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt for cupcakes together in a small bowl.

• Place frozen blueberries in a small bowl and toss with flour until coated. Add to the batter and fold to incorporate. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Check to see if a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, and continue to bake, if needed, for 4 to 8 more minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes more.
• While the cupcakes are cooling, remove blueberry jam from the refrigerator. Measure out 1/4 cup for the frosting and reserve any extra for another use.
• Beat butter for frosting in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt; beat until thoroughly combined. Add 1/4 cup blueberry jam and mix until combined. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes more.

• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the cornstarch. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining lemon sauce ingredients. Serve warm or cool.

LEMON CUP CAKES WITH LEMON BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar; cream until light.
• Add egg yolks; cream well.
• Add flour, that has been sifted with baking powder, alternately with the milk.
• Add lemon rind.
• Turn into deep cupcake pans that have been well greased.
• Bake in a quick oven (that's code for 425 degrees Fahrenheit) until done, 15 minutes should do.
• Meanwhile, while baking, get double boiler out and combine lemon butter cream ingredients; sugar, dash salt, juice and rind of 1 lemon, 3 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons butter over hot water, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened; cool. This mixture can be spread between layers of cakes and is especially good on cupcakes on previous page when mixed with whipped cream which is the 1 cup whipping cream beaten, I think you could use Cool Whip here.
