Cómo preparar Lemon Cupcakes With Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

- Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces (2 packages) cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until combined. Then gradually add 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the reserved lemon zest.
- If desired, tint a portion of the frosting with pink gel food coloring.
