Lemon-Berry Cupcakes

TANGY. ZANGY. ZWEET.

If you're into the lemon X berry combo, you would for sure luuuuv the cupcakes I made last night! Despite the unusually hot weather in Malibu at the moment, summer is almost ending. The summer flavors of citrus lemon and red raspberries must be put to use before everyone is making fall-inspired treats...

The lemon pound cake turned out really well. If something's lemon flavored, I want to be able to taste that zing... I used lots of lemon zest and fresh lemon juice in the recipe to make sure of that. The shocking pink frosting is raspberry buttercream - the raspberries themselves did that to the coloring! The lemon pound cake with the raspberry buttercream balanced the tangy/sugary/tart taste of the whole cupcake, making it a delicious treat!
