I made these for a friend’s birthday who loves Lemon cake, and they tasted delicious! The frosting was especially lemony. These are so yummy! Best cupcakes I’ve EVER MADE!!! These are the Perfect Triple Lemon Cupcakes; lemon flavor in every single bite!
The recipe was easy to follow and the cupcakes turned out in such a success! I love the lemon flavor and do not think the cupcakes are that dense which I love. They are just perfect. I want to eat one after another! Omg super yummy!
These Lemon Cupcakes are perfect! They have triple the lemon flavor with lemon in the cupcake and the frosting, and they’re filled with lemon curd. The perfect cupcake to bring sunshine to any day!
