Servings

10 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup lemonade syrup
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons lemonade syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3-4 tablespoons lemonade syrup
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease 10 muffin cups. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the butter and sugar and beat at medium speed until fluffy and well combined. Add the eggs one at a time beating after each addition. Beat in the yogurt and 1/3 cup lemonade syrup. The mixture will look curdled. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and mix together. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Beat to blend ingredients thoroughly to a smooth batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and brush the remaining 3 tablespoons lemonade syrup over the tops of the cupcakes. Let cool. Frost and serve.
  • Lemonade Frosting
  • Cream the butter in an electric mixer at medium speed. Add 3 tablespoons lemonade syrup and the lemon peel and beat them in. Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar and beat until the frosting is smooth and well blended. Add more lemonade syrup if needed for spreading consistency.

    I have not made these pareve myself, but any acidic yogurt-like substance would work; for the frosting you can use Earth Balance Buttery Spread. It would taste different if you compared the two recipes side by side, but the lemon is so dominant I don’t think it would matter whether you made them dairy or pareve. Both should be delicious.
