Lemon Icing

The second icing which Ava made for her Chocolate Cupcakes is Lemon Icing.

Lemon-Icing-10-400x600

The tinge of sourness in the Lemon Icing helps to cut back the sweetness of the icing.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup butter; softened
  • 4 cups icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Source: Ava

Prep time: 10 minutes; Serve 24 cupcakes

Instructions

Lemon-Icing-1-300x200Combine butter, lemon juice and lemon zest in a large bowl.
Lemon-Icing-2-300x200Sift 1/2 of the icing sugar into the bowl with butter and lemon. Fold the icing sugar before starting to beat with an electric mixer.
Lemon-Icing-3-300x200Keep adding the remainder of the icing sugar a spoonful at a time until all the ingredients have been incorporated and form a smooth paste. Use a piping bag to decorate cooled cupcakes.

    Hi, I’m going to try this and your cream cheese icing recipe for my son’s cupcake “birthday-cake.” Approximately how many cupcakes will this recipe cover?
