Lime Cupcakes
1 C. all purpose flour
3/4 C. self rising flour
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/4 C. sugar
2 large eggs
juice from 3 limes
finely grated lime peel from 3 limes
green food coloring
3/4 C. buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin pans with liners. Mix both flours together in small bowl. Beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Add sugar and beat to blend. Beat in eggs then the next 3 ingredients. Beat in flour mixture with buttermilk alternately. Spoon batter into lines. Bake until done about 20-25 minutes. Cool then frost.
Frosting:
8oz cream cheese room temp
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 stick softened butter
2 tsp lime peel grated
juice from 1-2 limes
mix well. Add more sugar and lime juice to taste. I piped my frosting so I think I used around 4 C. sugar. I kept adding more lime juice until it was to my liking. These turned out so yummy!!!
