Equipment

  • Stand Mixer with Paddle attachment

Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1/4 cup {60 ml} of whole milk
  • 185 gr {6 Oz} of unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup {60 ml} of lime juice
  • 1/4 cup {60 ml} of orange juice
  • 3 tsp of finely grated lime rind
  • 1 1/3 cups {300 gr} of caster sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups {225 gr} of self-raising flour
  • 1/3 cup of cornstarch
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
  • 1 cup of white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 125 gr {4 Oz} unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups {240 gr} of icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp of whole milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF and line 12-hole muffin pan with cupcakes liners.
  • In a small bowl mix flour, cornstarch, and baking soda.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until it's very soft and creamy then add little by little the sugar and mix for about 5 minutes or until is fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time until combined.
  • Stir in flour mixture, vanilla, juices, zest, and milk little by little until well combined.
  • Turn off the mixer and manually mix in the white chocolate chips.
  • Drop 1/3 cup of mixture into liners.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes.
  • Let them sit for about 5 min before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Making the Frosting

  • Beat butter in a small bowl with a stand mixer until creamy and as white as possible.
  • Pour the Vanilla while beating.
  • Beat in the icing sugar and milk in two batches.
  • Optionally, if you want to make it fun green, add in a few drops of green coloring food and beat until you get the desired shade.
  • Fill an icing bag with the frosting and set in the fridge for about 5 minutes. Don’t leave it for more than 10 minutes or the frosting won’t work well.
  • When the cupcakes are cool, decorate with your icing bag and your favorite tip.
  • I added a piece of lime peel to the top!
  • Serve and enjoy!
