Lemon Cream Cupcakes

This recipe was so delicious I made it twice.  The cupcakes were amazing with just the right amount of Lemon.  I found the recipe at Allrecipes.com.  The recipe was great except in my oven the cooking time was a little less. I made mini cupcakes to share with all of my neighbors and friends.  Can't wait to make these a third time in the future.
Here is the recipe it's for sure worth a try- this makes 30 big cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • FROSTING:
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add lemon peel and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream (batter will be thick). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with 1/4 cup of batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. For frosting, cream butter and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, vanilla, lemon peel and milk; beat until smooth. Frost cupcakes.
