Like a perfectly moist lemon cake—in adorable cupcake form—this recipe more than satisfies a sweet tooth. (Even total chocolate devotees will be asking for another.) The dessert comes together in exactly an hour, and that's by design. We devised a from-scratch batter and icing that are both simple enough to whip up on a weeknight. You'll use an electric mixer to make the dough, then. A simple from-scratch lemon cupcake has blackberry buttercream frosting. This cupcake is a refreshing hit! Thank you and good luck
