Lemon-Cream Cheese Cupcakes

These cupcakes were awesome. I LOVED the texture. I followed the recipe for the cupcakes but went easy on the lemon juice for the frosting, adding it gradually and stopping when I reached the desired consistency. I didn't get 24 cupcakes, just about 19. I will be making them not just again but often!

After reading various reviews, I decided to change this up a little. Substituted 3 whole eggs instead of egg whites and added 1/4 cup more water. These cupcakes turned out fabulous! The frosting was delicious also. For those new to making frostings, try adding 1/2 the liquid called for and then gradually add the rest as needed. Weather conditions can change how much liquid you will need! I know, strange, lol.

These were fantastic! A new favorite at my house!

Hi All, I am a cupcake queen and this recipe is very easy to make and everyone raves about them especially men! It's a perfect Spring/Summer (4th of July especially) treat. One of my friends made it for a BBQ and then I snagged her recipe and now it's a favorite. I love how the white cake mix isn't so sweet but almost like angel food consistency and the frosting with lemon adds zest! You can't just eat one! The only negative thing I can say about this recipe is: 1) Everytime I make this recipe I end up making 15 cupcakes instead of 24 and I end up with more frosting at the end. I personally love my cupcakes to fulfill the top and not 1/2 way. I can suggest to make a double batch if you want since they go pretty fast anyhow! Enjoy! I think I am going to make these again for my husband's men's BBQ next weekend. They are so good and he requested it. lol

This was my first time ever baking cupcakes. I was impressed with the lemony taste. I think I added too much lemon juice to the icing as it was a tad bit runny, but tasted great. Hope my daughter likes them.

The best cupcake I ever ate.

One of our favorite cupcake recipes...so good!

These cupcakes were fantastic, instead of a white cake mix; i used french vanilla! yummy...The frosting was absolutely aweful.I will never make the frosting again.

This recipe was just delicious. The cake was more dense than your traditional cupcake but had wonderful flavor. I would liken it to a pound cake texture. The frosting was superb. I did add the zest of one large lemon and used fresh lemon juice along with low fat cream cheese instead of the full fat version in my frosting. My family loved them. Keep the great recipes coming!!!

I love this cupcake recipe! It's great because you can substitute any jello flavor in the cake and juice in the frosting and make delicious cupcakes. I've make the original lemon-cream cheese, chocolate, white chocolate, and watermelon. Key lime is next.
