These Lemonade Cupcakes are always a hit at a party! People love the look of the bright yellow in the center surrounded by delicious white vanilla buttercream. Not a fan of lemon? No problem! Use any fruit flavored curd in the center to get your perfect cupcakes ready for your big event!
- 1 Tbsp. Lemon Curd
- 1 c. Softened Butter
- 1 t. Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3-4 c. Powdered Sugar
Start off by making a batch of our Favorite Traditional Vanilla Cupcakes! Let cool before frosting cupcakes.
We made the same vanilla buttercream frosting for this recipe as we did for our Vanilla Vanilla Cupcake Recipe. To start, beat the butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar until the buttercream becomes the right consistency. If your buttercream becomes a little too thick, add a little of milk to thin it out.
Next, simply core out the center out of the cupcakes.
Pipe your vanilla frosting around the cored center.
Pipe your favorite lemon curd in the cupcake center as well as all the way up to fill in the hole created by the vanilla frosting. Serve and enjoy!!
