LEMON CUPCAKES WITH VANILLA FROSTING from Sally's Baking Addiction


These cupcakes come from Sally's Baking Addiction. They were a failure. I made half and used a mini loaf pan (2/3 c. capacity cavities, standard muffin cups are 1/2 c. capacity) and got five using 1/3 c. batter for each cavity, so this made a little more batter than the recipe said it would. I got about 1 2/3 c. batter. I added 1/2 t. poppy seeds, not part of the recipe, but it wasn't quite enough. If you make half a batch you'll need about 3/4 t., which is 1.5 teaspoons for the whole recipe. I made my own glaze for it.

The cupcakes are very dense, holey, shiny, sticky, and sank in the middle. They're edible but something went wrong. Reading the comments on her site others had the same problem as me though we're in the minority with our failures. If I'm at fault I must not have beat the butter and sugar enough.

These get a D even though they're edible. This is the second failed recipe of Sally's in just a few days time.
