Lemon Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting image

I sometimes call these my Triple Lemon Whammy cupcakes because they take full advantage of vibrant citrus flavor. A healthy dollop of strawberry jam in the frosting along fresh strawberries really puts this dessert over the top! - Emma Sisk, Plymouth, Minnesota

These cupcakes were a huge disappointment. They were dry, dense, and the frosting was too sweet.

I've tried many lemon cupcake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful, and the frosting is to die for.
