These cupcakes were fantastic.! I doubled the recipe and followed the directions exactly. I took 23 to an event (one escaped before I left the house) and came home with only 3 left.:) The flavors of nutmeg vanilla and lemon all come together nicely.
delicious! I used fresh grated nutmeg and made buttermilk using almond milk. loved them!!
Really Delicious! Many compliments received!
Wow. These were fantastic. I have a rule about making a recipe the way that it's written the first time I make it. I was tempted not to do just egg white, but stuck to my rule. So glad I did. My gaming group loved them. So, thanks! I'll be making these often.
I made these cupcakes for a "Mardi Gras Monday" at my office instead of making/buying a traditional-style King Cake. I followed the recipe exactly (only substitution was using vanilla extract instead of paste) and the cakes turned out very tasty & moist. The only issue I had was even after doubling the recipe, it was a struggle to fill all 24 liners - I scraped every last drop but a few cupcakes were still kind of small. The lemon cream cheese frosting was quite delicious, but it seemed to overpower the nutmeg in the cake as I wasn't able to taste it. If I do these again, I think I will add more nutmeg for more of the flavor to shine through. Also, after doubling the frosting, I had enough to do at least another dozen cupcakes. So overall, not enough batter, but way too much frosting - I guess it would be good for those that like very heavily frosted cupcakes, but I try to be more balanced with the cake to frosting ratio.
So good! I wouldn't have thought to pair nutmeg with a lemon-cream cheese icing but they really work well together!
Easy to make I used vanilla extract instead of the paste because that is 16 a bottle- very sweet didn t care for the frosting or the nutmeg flavor in the cupcake. Will try a different recipe next time.
I made it as is though I added much more lemon then it calls for. I don't think I'll use the cream cheese based frosting again I may stick to a lemon buttercream instead. The cream cheese frosting is delicious though.
