Recipe for Lemon Buttercream Cupcakes:
For the cupcakes, just use a yellow cake mix or yellow supreme. Or you could try this Lemon Pound Cake recipe (my favorite!) and just adjust the baking time.
Frosting Ingredients:
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-6 tbsp milkDirections: Cream together butter and shortening. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix well. Slowly add powdered sugar. Then add a little milk and continue to alternate between the two, until all ingredients are added and you reach desired consistency. (You might need to add extra milk or sugar if the consistency isn’t right.)
4 cups powdered sugar

Looks refreshing and delicious. I'd probably try your pound cake too.

Beautiful, love lemon and love cupcakes. Made some yesterday Andes Chocolate Mint and hubby left the hugh carrier on the counter, so the boys won't be having cupcakes today for break. Hope they will still be ok for tomorrow. Have a good week and hope you enjoyed all the flavors of the cupcakes……….andi
This looks simply divine!
