My all-time favorite scent, and dessert, is the ever-so-delicious buttercream cupcake. And while I'm being honest here, my addiction extends far from the kitchen, and right into my bathroom. After all, what could be more delicious than bathing in the aroma of cupcakes? I, for one, can't think of a thing! That's why I'm passing my scrumptious recipe for bubble bath perfection onto you. Just don't try eating it! To find out more, keep reading.

My sister is a peanut butter/chocolate-aholic so when I made cupcakes to sell at her Kappa Kup BBQ, I decided to give this recipe a try. I got super worried half way through because the cake itself wasn't very sweet tasting and kind of blahhy. But once they are filled with the peanut butter filling and frosted with the chocolate ganache frosting (this is my new favorite recipe for chocolate icing!) they were spectacular.

Easter Lemonade Cupcakes
From YumSugar
These cupcakes are really sweet, I would maybe cut out 1/4-1/2 cups of sugar, depending on how sweet the lemonade concentrate is. Also, the cake is quite crumbly, like a muffin - I would consider adding another egg to the mixture.
3 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp lemonade concentrate
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
lemonade frosting (see recipe below)
1 1/2 - 2 cups sweetened coconut flake
green food coloring
48 chocolate candy eggs
This recipe makes 24 cupcakes.
