Lemonade Cupcakes

These are like no other cupcake I have ever tasted! They are moist, tart, and just plain delicious!


Not a hard recipe at all - and the mixture goes a long way! I prepared the cupcakes for a Junior League meeting, but had so many that I also took a batch to my office, and still had leftovers to keep at home for the husband! (Who was quite grateful!)


What could smell better than cupcakes baking in the oven?! After they cooled, I decided to top them with homemade icing! YUM!


There you have it! Lemonade Cupcakes. Success!
