When Dad hands me lemons, I make Lemon Cupcakes

 

 

Living in southern California, we get spoiled with our fabulous weather and wonderful citrus trees. My father has two lemon trees which are producing lots of juicy fruit right now! On each of my visits, he loads me up with these beauties.

I am bringing him a treat tomorrow. I have tried several lemon cupcake recipes and this one is my favorite so far. The flavor comes from fresh lemons and lemon zest - no artificial flavoring or extracts in this recipe!  I found it  here .

 They make 10 - 12 regular sized cupcakes. I have made them regular size and mini cupcake size. Be sure to adjust the baking time according to the size you make. You may only need to bake the minis about 9 minutes.  Don't over bake or they may be dry.
