Lemon Cupcake Recipe – CraziBeautiful Women
It’s hit or miss with lemon cupcakes for me. I’m all about the natural almost tartness with lemon, so when I indulge in a lemon cupcake it needs to have real lemon juice and plenty of zest.
I came across this recipe for lemon cupcakes on the CraziBeautiful Women Web site/blog. It juses a lemon cake mix in the recipe.
I love that it has step-by-step photos included in the recipe directions. It’s just beautiful!
Here’s the recipe. But make sure you head over to their site for the step-by-step instructions!
Lemon Cupcakes
Cake:
1 package lemon cake mix
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs
1 small package lemon instant pudding
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix with electric mixer on medium speed for about two minutes. Use a strong mixer, this batter is thick. Bake @ 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Don’t over bake!
Lemon Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, very soft
6-8 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar, then the juice and the zest. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, until icing is thick.
You may be interested in the CraziBeautiful Women site too! It’s got lots of great recipes with awesome pictures and some good posts as well! The site is all about bringing Utah women together…Check it out!

Happy New Year – 2010
Happy New Year, my cupcake friends!
I searched through the Utah Loves Cupcakes flickr pool this morning for the perfect “New Year” Cupcake…and I found this. The photo is from group member DisneyChick, it’s titled “What to wish for?”
I thought it appropriate for 2010. So ask your self this question in cupcake context or anything else!
I wish you all a wonderful, prosperous and happy new year!
