Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the cupcakes
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 large eggs
Juice of 3 limes, plus zest of 1 lime
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. milk (preferably whole or 2%)

1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
5 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. tequila
Coarse salt, for garnish
Lime zest, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with 18 cupcake liners. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add lime juice and zest and vanilla and mix until combined.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your cupcakes the best flavor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners no more than 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be gooey in the center, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have a cupcake pan, you can use a muffin pan instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • These cupcakes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

These margarita cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up any leftover margarita mix. So next time you are looking for a sweet and festive treat, give these cupcakes a try!
