Ingredients
- 1 cake flour 1/2 cup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 unsalted butter sticks, 4 ounces, very soft
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 egg large, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese whole milk
- 1/4 cup milk whole
- 1 lemon juice fresh or 100% juice not from concentrate
Lemon Ricotta Frosting
- 1 butter unsalted, 4 ounce stick, very soft
- 2 to 3 cups confectioners sugar sifted
- 3 tablespoons ricotta cheese whole milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh or 100% juice not from concentrate
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional
Instructions
For the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line or grease cupcake tin and set aside.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the softened butter and vanilla, mix until the batter resembles a course meal. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well with each new addition. Add ricotta, milk, and lemon juice and mix until combined.
- Spoon prepared batter into cupcake cups (filling about 1/2 way each) and bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcakes comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
For the Lemon Ricotta Frosting:
- In a stand mixer or large bowl using an electric handheld mixer, beat the butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth. With the mixer speed on low, add in a 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar at a time, beating until it's to your desired sweetness and texture. Slowly mix in ricotta cheese, then quickly add in lemon juice and zest. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes. Refrigerate frosting for 10 minutes then frost cooled cupcakes.
Notes
- Keep cupcakes stored in the refrigerator until needed. I recommend bringing the cupcakes to room temperature before serving. To do this, simply remove cupcakes from the fridge 30-45 minutes prior to serving.
