Notes

Zap your lemons first. My trick to getting the most juice out of a lemon is to microwave it for about 20 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how ripe your lemon is.
Make more cupcakes! This recipe yields nine cupcakes, but you can easily double the recipe if you want more!
Take ingredients out ahead of time. As always with cakes and cupcakes, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results!
Double up on lemon flavor. Our Lemon Ermine Frosting is the ideal topper for these cupcakes. It's fluffy, full of bright flavor, and just sweet enough
Opt for another topping. Our Best Ever Cream Cheese Frosting is also delicious on these cupcakes! Cupcakes frosted with Cream Cheese Frosting must stay refrigerated in an airtight container.
Try this easy garnish. These cupcakes are so good that they don't need decoration, but you can easily fancy them up with the twists you see here. Simply take a very thin lemon round, make one cut from the edge of the slice to the center, and, holding the slice with two hands, gently twist it to make a spiral.
