lemon cupcakes.

July 18th, 2011.

Still ecstatic about last Saturday's cooking playdate, this week is all about lemon. Yesterday i bought so many lemons and made Kyra's lemon mint drink for my parents, to accompany them enjoy the afternoon rain. And so i made another attempt in making cupcakes, this time i'm making lemon cupcakes. And you have to be proud of me, take a bow, or clap your hands for me, because i've finally succeeded in making cheese cream frosting :D Turns out it's all about the brand. I'm using President butter for the frosting, so it taste more delish.

You will need:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/3 plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (or juice of 1 lemon)
For the frosting:
  • 7 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • lemon juice
  • yellow food coloring
