- The Perfect Lemon Cupcake Recipe
Posted on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 in Cupcake Recipe – Comments: (0)Oh, how I love Ina Garten! You may know her as Food Network’s “Barefoot Contessa”. She has authored an incredible series of cookbooks, has the cutest little hubby ever, and gets to cook all day in her east coast studio kitchen. Yes, I wish I were her!But for now I will have to be satisfied to just cook like her. These cupcakes are lemony scrumptious. They are light and airy. Easy to put mix and very versatile.This recipe can be used to make a round layer cake or a bundt cake (double the recipe). It can be baked in loaf pans and would also make fabulous mini cakes (perfect for the Bundt mini cake pans).

Posted on Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 in Cupcake Recipe – Comments: (0)Martha Stewart’s “One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes” just did not do it for me. I know there are lots of folks out there that love that recipe. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. So I decided to start trying out some other chocolate cupcake recipes and happened upon a great Cupcake Wedding Cakes post over at RecipeGirl.I was really anxious to try these out as “Recipe Girl” does some mighty fine cookin’. So here’s my take this Chocolate Cupcake Recipe.I loved that it is made with buttermilk, especially because I had a full quart ready to go bad in the fridge.
