Great idea..however the cake is very, very heavy. Instead I think I would use a plain cake base using sour cream and add the key lime juice and zest for flavor. For the frosting I would use 1/4 cup condensed milk instead of 1/2 cup, because it seemed a little too runny.

i loved these. i thought they were adorable and pretty tasty. i added more lime juice to the batter and to the frosting cause that’s just the way i roll.

These were so good!
The cake was tasty by itself but definitely benefited from the frosting. Even the husband who prefers his cupcakes unfrosted (heathen!) liked it better embellished.
Serving them tomorrow for my daughter’s 6th birthday party.

I made the cupcakes following the recipe exactly. The cupcake was easy enough to make, but it was too dry, and very crumbly. The best part (and only part for me) was the baked crunchy cupcake top–think muffin top.
The frosting was quite tasty and had a nice lime flavor, but was a bit thin and made almost twice a much as needed. I also used half the condensed milk as it was getting too sweet.
My children and husband liked them more than me. I still prefer cakes made with sour cream that are more moist.

These sound delicious, but my god that ingredient list screams fattening. Not that that’ll stop me from trying them.

This is calling my name. I love limes in or with almost any food. These Cupcakes will have to be made soon.

they look so yummy, but what is crumbled on top???

The amount of butter appears to be incorrect. Do you use 1 1/2 sticks of butter for the batter and THEN the remaining 4 tablespoons for the frosting? Anyone know?

noelleb- in the ingredients list, it says the butter is divided so I’d think it’s 12 Tbs in the muffins and then the 4 for the icing. I haven’t tried this recipe yet but that’s what I’m thinking from reading over the recipe!

natp:
Our US butter comes in conveniently-wrapped 1/4 lb. sticks, whose wrappers are marked in lines for each tablespoon. Happy buttering!

Just made these this morning and they are wonderful! I used 12 tbsp for the batter and 4 for the frosting. Definitely will be making these again!

nhquilter – the threemanycooks website says they garnish with graham cracker crumbs.
