Cupcake Week! day 3: Key Lime Cupcakes
A special thanks to my friend Lindy who gave me the recipe for day 3. key lime cupcakes with lime zest cream cheese icing, recipe found here.
Forgive me, I forgot to take pictures. I also made a few mistakes. I used skim milk instead of buttermilk and then I used all purpose flour for everything instead of the self rising. I also added a lot more sugar. They taste okay. I should've left out the extra sugar so they stayed on the tart side. I think because of the alterations I made with the flour and milk the texture was off. But again, they were okay. The icing however, was FABULOUS! Although, as Katie Bailey pointed out (I'd thought the same thing) the icing looks like sour cream with chives because of the lime zest in it. Ha! Next time I will follow the recipe exactly.
Please excuse the one on the bottom left. It fell on the counter so I had to smooth the icing out with a knife.
Katie was my taste audience. She approved!!!
Stay tuned for my absolute favorite flavor of cupcakes for day 4!
