Description

Tart little green cakes with a creamy sweet cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 16 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • ½ cups Powdered Milk
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1-½ teaspoon Liquid Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Key Lime Juice
  • ¼ cups Water
  • 5 drops Green Food Coloring (optional)

Preparation

Set aside powdered sugar, cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter for frosting.

For cupcakes:

Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and powdered milk) in one bowl; set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining wet ingredients (except food coloring): remaining 1/2 cup butter, eggs, vanilla, lime juice and water. Combine with the dry ingredients.

Beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add food coloring until you get the shade of green you want.

Pour into a paper-lined cupcake pan, filling 1/2 to 2/3 full. These cupcakes don’t rise very much, so you can get away with filling the cups a bit more than usual.

Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, approximately 15 minutes.

For the frosting:

Beat cream cheese and butter until well combined and creamy. Sift in powdered sugar and mix well.
Adjust powdered sugar to taste.
