Key Lime Cupcakes

Recipe here.

For Girl’s birthday party tomorrow.  Had to try one tonight…you know, just to make sure that they were OK…before I served them to the children.  I wouldn’t want to serve them an inferior baked good, you know…

The verdict?  Yum!  The cake itself is rich and moist and slightly Red Velvet-y (because of the buttermilk,) but without any chocolate flavor, of course.  I omitted the green food coloring, so the cakes are white on our cupcakes, rather than green (eww!)

The frosting is creamy and delicious with a PRONOUNCED lime tang.  I love citrus and the flavor of these definitely does not disappoint.  I sprinkled a TINY bit of extra lime zest on top of each cupcake after frosting.  I didn’t frost them too heavily, so had an extra cup of frosting leftover.  I’ll have to come up with something to do with it.  It might be really nice on a loaf of zucchini bread…
