Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-purpose flour (This forms the base of the cupcakes, contributing to their fluffy texture.)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder (Essential for helping the cupcakes rise and become light and airy.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (A pinch enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Softened to room temperature, this adds richness and moisture to the batter.)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar (Provides just the right amount of sweetness to complement the lemon tang.)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest (Freshly grated, it infuses the cupcakes with a vibrant citrus flavor.)
- 3 large Large eggs (Whisked, they help bind the ingredients and add moisture.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Adds a warm, comforting note that rounds out the flavor profile.)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Contributes to the moisture and softness of the cupcakes.)
- 1/2 cup Sour cream (Enhances the richness and creates a tender crumb.)
- 1/4 cup Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed, this gives a punch of tartness that defines the cupcake flavor.)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Softened but still slightly firm, for a creamy and easy-to-spread frosting.)
