Time 2h15m

Yield Makes 28 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons each grated lime zest (from 4 limes) and juice, plus more zest, for sprinkling
1 cup buttermilk
Tequila Lime Curd
Cream Cheese Frosting for Margarita Cupcakes
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two standard muffin tins with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and coarse salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; beat in zest. Combine buttermilk and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk mixture, and beating until just combined after each. Pour 1/4 cup batter into each tin, firmly tapping pans to level batter.
  • Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until cupcakes spring back to the touch and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Fill a small piping bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #4) with lime curd. Insert tip into center of each cupcake and pipe until cupcake begins to mound on top. Dollop each cupcake with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese frosting, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt and lime zest.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
