Fruits are one of my preferred organic products. They generally help me to remember the shoreline since I generally bring a pack of fruits to nibble on (and licorice and a sack of potato chips that dependably winds up getting brimming with sand).
These, I wouldn't suggest taking them too the shoreline, excessively hazardous. Nobody needs a sandy cupcake or dissolved icing. Be that as it may, they are ideal for a late spring gathering. Perhaps I'm making all these cherry posts since they help me to remember summer but where I live regardless it hasn't felt anything like summer (mid 40's simply isn't cutting it for me).
These cupcakes nonetheless, are making it feel like a decent summer day around here. The icing shouts cherry, with it's shading as well as with the sweet kind of the maraschino cherry juice blended in. What's more, obviously these couldn't be cherry limeade cupcakes except if they were done on with a cherry.
These cupcakes have the best mix of flavors - made with brilliant tart lime meets sweet fruity cherries. They're cushioned and beat with a fantastic icing.
Cherry Limeade Cupcakes - these cupcakes are delicious and so fun for summer!! they are perfect for a summer party too!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cake flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp lime zest
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter , softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp buttermilk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Simple Syrup
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbsp granulted sugar
Frosting and topping
- 3/4 cup butter (I used 1/2 cup unsalted and 1/4 cup salted)
- 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- Few drops red food coloring (optional)
- 3 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice
- 12 maraschino cherries , lime slices and sugar crystal sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift all-purpose flour and cake flour into a mixing bowl. Add baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk 20 seconds, set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse together 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp granulated sugar with lime zest until finely ground, about 1 minute. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together butter with lime sugar mixture until pale and fluffy (if you don't have the paddle attachment that constantly scrapes bowl, then occasionally throughout entire mixing process, stop mixer and scrape down sides and bottom of bowl). Mix in egg, then mix in egg whites one at a time, adding in vanilla with second egg white.
- In the liquid measuring cup used to measure buttermilk, whisk together buttermilk with lime juice. Working in three separate batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, add 1/3 of the flour mixture alternating with 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture and mixing just until combined after each addition. Divide batter among 12 paper lined muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean, about 18 - 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool several minutes in muffin tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly while preparing simple syrup.
For the simple syrup:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Tbsp lime juice with 1 Tbsp granulated sugar until sugar has dissolved. Brush mixture over warm cupcakes (use all of it, I did about 2 light coats over each cupcake). Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
For the frosting:
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip butter until pale and fluffy. Mix in 1/4 cup powdered sugar then mix in maraschino cherry juice and optional red food coloring. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add remaining 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar (add an additional 1/4 as needed to reach desired consistency), then increase mixer to medium and whip until light and fluffy. Pipe or spread over cooled cupcakes, top with each with a maraschino cherry and a lime slice and sprinkle edges with sprinkles if desired.
