Forgot to use self-rising flour. I was so disappointed with the results and then I re-read the ingredients. Darn it! Don’t forget the self-rising flour!!

I just whipped these cupcakes up and they were so quick and easy to do. Love it! I did add more lemon juice to the icing… probably about 2 1/2 Tablespoons altogether. But I used the bottled type and that may be why it required the extra for a proper lemon kick. The cupcakes are great because they are not super sweet and balance nicely with the icing. Thanks! Will make these again.

YUM!!!!!! Will try these this weekend. I’m having a bit of a love affair with lemons at the moment, can’t get enough of ‘em. Nice to meet you!

Exactly what I was looking for. A grown up cupcake! It was easy to make and the cream cheese icing is so good that I couldn’t stop eating it from the bowl. Excited to see that you are another member from Canberra (same here -except we are posted overseas at the moment).
