The frosting for these cupcakes is tinted a pretty pale shade of pink with pureed raspberries (not food coloring), which also adds flavor. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 808.

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
Raspberry Frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest on medium speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Beat in lemon juice, vanilla, and egg. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 additions of yogurt, beating until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Divide batter evenly among paper-lined standard muffin tins, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until golden and a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins on wire racks before removing. Cupcakes can be stored at room temperature up to 2 days before spreading about 2 tablespoons frosting on each.
