Dani
"I am a huge fan of 'One Bowl Chocolate Cake' by Allrecipes user 'shirleyo' on Allrecipes! I was determined to create a new cake flavor just as moist, fluffy, and homemade. These lemon cupcakes are contest-winning fluffy and moist deliciousness!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Stir flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Beat milk, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon extract into the dry ingredients using an electric mixer set to medium for 2 minutes.
- Bring lemon juice to a boil in a small saucepan and immediately beat into the batter with the electric mixer on low speed.
- Fill cupcake liners with batter to about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Batter will react to the hot lemon juice, so make sure you have a large enough bowl to accommodate the expanded, frothier batter.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

These cupcakes were not my fave. The flavor was great but the texture was not good they were flat and spongey. I will not be using this recipe again.
