Ingredients
For the Cupcakes
- 4 large large eggs, separated Providing structure and richness
- ¾ cup granulated sugar Sweetens and contributes to tenderness
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest Adds brightness and flavor
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice Balances sweetness with acidity
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled Adds moisture and richness
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour Provides structure and texture
- 2 cups whole milk, lukewarm Ensures a moist batter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor
- Powdered sugar, for dusting Adds a touch of sweetness
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preheating your oven to the desired temperature and preparing your cupcake pan with liners.
- In a mixing bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks together with the granulated sugar until slightly pale and smooth.
- Incorporate the lemon zest and lemon juice into the egg yolk and sugar mixture.
- Slowly blend in the melted unsalted butter, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour while mixing until just combined.
Whipping Egg Whites
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
Final Mixing and Baking
- Slowly add the lukewarm whole milk and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners in the pan.
- Place the cupcake pan in the oven and bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Before serving, dust the cupcakes lightly with powdered sugar.
Notes
Ensure butter is slightly cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the eggs. Use fresh lemon for the best flavor and measure flour accurately to avoid density.
