Two Lemon Cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream Frosting – -A burst of spring flavors in just two moist cupcakes. Fresh raspberry frosting gives them the perfect finishing touch.

A few months ago, I shared a lemon pie recipe that was made just for one person ( or two, if you want to share!). I also noted the reason for it- – I’m literally the only person in my family that likes lemon desserts.

I know, they are crazy, right?

With that in mind, I made lemon cupcakes this week and made just two. Yep..two! Plus, they are frosted with a creamy fresh raspberry buttercream frosting. 😋

Ingredients List:

Flour + Baking powder
Sugar
Egg White
Milk
Lemon juice + zest
for frosting: raspberries + butter+ powdered sugar+ vanilla

Note: Don’t over mix your cupcake batter, it may give you dense cupcakes.

How To Make Raspberry Frosting:

First, puree the raspberries with vanilla. You can use a blender, immersion blender, or food processor. If you wish to remove the seeds from the puree, drain it through a fine mesh strainer. If you don’t mind the seeds, leave them in!

Beat softened butter with puree. Then, add in 1 cup of powdered sugar. Depending on the consistency of frosting, you can add additional powdered sugar. Do this with just a tablespoon at a time.

Make sure your cupcakes are cooled before frosting and store any leftover frosting in a covered container in the refrigerator.
