Key Lime Recipe




As promised here is the link to the key lime cupcake recipe: http://www.redbookmag.com/recipes-home/tips-advice/trisha-yearwood-recipes-5
The only thing I did different for the cupcakes was to add the key lime juice to the batter and omit the last ingredient, confectioners' sugar. Trisha says you can use regular lime juice instead of key lime but I used key lime juice. Here is a picture of the bottle...I think I bought it at Fresh Market. I baked the cupcakes for 20 minutes at 350.
I did use a different recipe for the frosting.
My recipe is:
4 T of Unsalted Butter
6 oz of Cream Cheese (do not use fat free or less fat)
4 cups of Powdered Sugar
1/4 t of vanilla (I prefer to use clear vanilla if making white icing)
Depending on how much frosting you put on the cupcakes you may need more frosting than what one recipe will make.
Here is the link to the Red Velvet Cupcakes: http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2010/11/08/red-velvet-cupcakes-cream-cheese-frosting/ These I cooked for 18 minutes in my oven-do not want to overcook!
Call me if you have any questions.
Good Luck!
