Easter Lemonade Cupcakes
From YumSugar

These cupcakes are really sweet, I would maybe cut out 1/4-1/2 cups of sugar, depending on how sweet the lemonade concentrate is. Also, the cake is quite crumbly, like a muffin - I would consider adding another egg to the mixture.

3 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp lemonade concentrate
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
lemonade frosting (see recipe below)
1 1/2 - 2 cups sweetened coconut flake
green food coloring
48 chocolate candy eggs

This recipe makes 24 cupcakes.

• Preheat oven to 325F
• Sift flour, salt, baking soda and powder together - set aside.
• In mixer cream butter until smooth, add sugar, cream together.
• Once creamed add in lemonade concentrate.
• Slowly mix in one egg at a time.
• Add in flour mixture 1/3 at a time.
• When flour is thoroughly mixed, mix in milk. Batter will be slightly lumpy, but should be smooth (think pancake batter).
• Divide batter evenly into lined muffin tins and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
• While cupcakes are cooling mix coconut with a few drops of food coloring until desired color is achieved.
• Once cupcakes are cooled, frost with lemonade frosting, and coat with coconut. Place candy onto the cupcakes and top with bunny toothpicks (I got mine at safeway).
