Why I Love This Recipe
Lemons were highly prized by the ancient Romans and were used to ward off the effects of various poisons.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
White fondant, black fondant, pink fondant, edible food markers (for Bunny Design)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for Alcohol-Infused Frosting)
2 cups confectioners' sugar (for Alcohol-Infused Frosting)
2-3 tbsp limoncello liqueur (for Alcohol-Infused Frosting)
1/2 tsp lemon extract (for Alcohol-Infused Frosting)
Yellow food coloring (optional) (for Alcohol-Infused Frosting)
Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
For the bunny design, roll out white fondant and cut out bunny shapes. Use black and pink fondant to create the eyes, nose, and ears. Use edible food markers for details.
For the alcohol-infused frosting, beat the butter until creamy, then gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Mix in the limoncello liqueur and lemon extract until smooth. Add yellow food coloring if desired.
Frost the cooled cupcakes and top each with a bunny fondant design.
Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves before serving.
