  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Very Bright Lemon Frosting

  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon (no white bitter pith)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon plant-based milk or dairy milk, at room temperature

Ingredientes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl large enough to hold all ingredients whisk oil and eggs until completely blended. Add sugar and mix well.
  3. Add salt, vanilla, lemon zest and 1/3 of flour and mix into batter. Once combined add half of buttermilk. Add another 1/3 of flour and once mixed in add remaining buttermilk followed by remaining flour.
  4. Place 12 paper cups in a muffin tin and fill 3/4 full. Place in oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until center bounces back when lightly pressed with a finger. Let cool.
  5. For lemon buttercream, mix soft butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar, salt, and lemon zest.
  6. While beating, add 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Once incorporated add another 2 tablespoons.
  7. Continue with room temperature milk. If cream looks curdled/separated it is because it is too cold. While beating, heat sides of bowl with a hair dryer. Cream will once again become creamy and fluffy.  
  8. Pipe a ring of buttercream on cupcakes leaving space for citrus marmalade.
  9. Fill center with marmalade.
