Margarita Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cupcake Directions
  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 12 cup muffin pans with paper liners.
  • 2. Sift the flours together into a bowl and set aside.
  • 3. Rub the lime zest into the sugar and set aside. ***
  • 4. Cream the butter until smooth, then add the sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes)
  • 5. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 6. Add the flour and liquids alternately in 3 parts.
  • 7. Fill cupcake cups 3/4 full.
  • 8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 9. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • ***Rubbing the lime zest into the sugar produces an intensely scented sugar that gives extra lime flavor.***
  • Frosting Directions
  • 1. Beat butter with milk until smooth and creamy.
  • 2. Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar and beat until a wet thick frosting begins to form.
  • 3. Add in the lime juice, triple sec, and tequila and mix well.
  • 4. Slowly add in the remaining powdered sugar. The frosting will be stiff but spreadable. The longer it is beaten, the lighter and fluffier it will get.
  • 5. Spread or pipe over cupcakes that have been cooled.
