Do you like cupcakes? Do you like lemon cupcakes? Do you like lime cupcakes? Well today we are making lemon and lime cupcakes. Hey guys thank you so much for tuning in today. I am so happy you're here. Yes you are ready. Let's get started. First thing we're gonna do is preheat in our oven at 350 degrees. I've already lined our cupcake pans with these beautiful yellow cupcake holders. We're gonna be making about 30 cupcakes today. I'm gonna be using the duck and hines perfectly moist lemon supreme cake mix. Got it at Walmart for a dollar 46. This is the best lemon cake mix. In our medium sized glass bowl we're gonna add the entire cake mix. Smells good already and I haven't even added anything to it. This is the best lemon cake mix. I love lemon cake and I love lime cake. When I think about lemon cake I can remember my mother used to make lemon cake every Sunday we would have lemon cake. It was so moist and delicious. I have sweet memories of lemon cake. Oh yeah at this time I'm gonna be adding in about a cup and a half of seven up. You could use sprite or you could use mountain do. There is no way you could be mad and eat lemon cake at the same time. If you having a bad day go get you a slice of lemon cake. I guarantee you'll feel better. I lost my beater guys. I only got one. That's why you only see one leg and it's doing the job. We're gonna combine all our ingredients together and once we get that combined this smells so amazing. We're gonna use our spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure there's no flour mixture exposed. We're just gonna keep stirring. We're gonna scrape the bottom of the bowl also to make sure there's no flour peeking through. This is very important guys. The flour does have a tendency to hide at the bottom of the bowl. This is the part right here where you take the taste test. I could probably eat this whole bowl by myself. At this time we're gonna separate the mixture in half about half of the mixture for the lemon and about half of the mixture for the line. We added one dot of green food coloring. We're gonna mix that very well until there are no streaks in the mixture. We can also use this recipe for St. Patrick's Day. Just add more green food coloring for the darker green for St. Patrick's Day. I love lime green. It's such a beautiful color. Doesn't this look so pretty guys? So beautiful. Looks good already. Now you know we began to eat with our eyes even before we tasted. I can hardly wait on this. We're gonna start filling our baking cup about halfway to a third up. I'm gonna be using a large ice cream scooper. Oh my god. I feel so blessed to be able to make cupcakes because I love cupcakes. What was the last time you had a cupcake? What is your favorite cupcake? Do you like nuts in your cupcakes? You guys could talk to me in the comments. Maybe downstairs. Don't be shy. Talk to me. Okay we got all our cupcake liners filled up. Remember we're making 30 cupcakes. That's a lot of cupcakes. We're gonna bake these in the oven at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes. While our cupcakes are baking we're gonna use the lemon and limes to make our syrup for the cupcakes. To get the most juice out of our lemons and limes we're gonna put it in a microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. We're gonna always use fresh lemons or limes. Fresh only. We're gonna use this magic lemon juicer to extract juice from the lemons and the lime. It has holes at the bottom. It has hinges that hold it together and we're just gonna press down until all that delicious juice comes out. So easy. I always keep lemons in my home because there are multiple benefits of fresh lemon. It lowers blood pressure. It treats respiratory infections. It serves as a skin lightener. Remove dark spots. It treats acne. It reduces gray hair. It helps with digestion. It gets rid of stomach pains, abdominal cramps, bloating. I mean multiple multiple multiple benefits of fresh lemon. I love lemon such an incredible fruit. We're gonna add one fourth cup of white granulated sugar to our fresh lemon juice. The smell is incredible. I am a smell freak. If you guys don't remember I everything around me must smell delicious fresh. We're just gonna go ahead and mix that a little bit until we put it on the fire. Okay guys it's time to make our syrup for the cupcake. You see how hot that fire is? We have it on medium. We're gonna be using a medium sized saucepan. We're gonna grab our lemon drizzle. We're gonna pour that drizzle in our saucepan very slowly because we don't want it to splash. We don't want to get burned. Be careful guys. Now we don't want our drizzle to boil. We just want our sugar to dissolve and it's going to become a shiny syrup. So we're just gonna constantly shake the pan. I love the scent of lemon. I used the lemon peelings in my garbage disposal to keep my garbage disposal smelling fresh. Our syrup is done and our cupcakes are done. Aren't they beautiful and wasn't that quick? Perfect timing. I picked up these bamboo scovers at Walmart for 97 cents. You get a hundred. I'm gonna be using the scovers to poke holes in the cupcakes so that when we pour the drizzle over the cupcake it's gonna saturate the entire cupcake. Yes. I'm gonna tell you right now I have a special pour cup for drizzle so that I won't pour too much and I could not find that special cup so I am pouring too much. I'm gonna tell you and I already know. We want to continue to pour the drizzle over every single cupcake. Do not leave a cupcake out. I already ate one cupcake and it was delicious. I'm gonna be using a little bit of powdered sugar as our frosting as our topping for the cupcake but you can use whatever you want. You can use frosting. You can use nuts. You can use a slice of lemon twisted. Anything you want added on top of your cupcakes. We're going to add our powdered sugar on top of the cupcakes. We're going to sprinkle it all over. Looks like snow. Like it's snowing and I didn't want to add a heavy frosting because I figured the drizzle was sweet enough that it did not need frosting and you really don't have to add frosting because it's sweet enough. I'm gonna tell you this is a time of year where we're gonna have cookouts, family reunions, weddings, baby showers, picnics because of weather is getting extremely warm. I wanted to share these cupcake holders with you guys because when you making a cupcake you have to have something to carry them in and these are perfect. Do you hear me? I got these at Dollar Tree for Dollar 25 each and they're very sturdy. They handle. They have a handle. They have a lock and you want to protect your cupcake from flies, bugs, even leaves that fall off trees. Anything that's going to be outdoors that you want to protect the cupcake from. So I wanted to share these with you. I think they are very neat and I've used them. They worked very well. So go get you some. I have 30 cupcakes and I have about four. So thank you guys for watching. I love you. Thank you so much for your support. Thank you so much for your comment. Thank you so much for subscribing and I will see you in the next video.
