The best mouth-watering citrus cupcakes

Hello, friends! Summer is the perfect time to get your baking on and try the best mouth-watering citrus cupcake recipes out there! I love anything citrus, especially when there’s a combination of lemon and berries, such as blueberry or raspberries. Who’s with me?

I am happy to share with you the best citrus cupcake recipes (not to mention good-looking) from Pinterest!

1.Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcakes

“Think of these as lemon meringue pie made portable, with a graham cracker crust, a little less of the lemon filling, and some soft lemon cake added to the mix. You’ve got: buttery graham cracker base, tender vanilla-lemon cupcake, tangy lemon curd, and fluffy toasted meringue – all 100% gluten-free, but you’d never know it. It’s like pie/cake/amazingness in one little cupcake wrapper.” – Alexandra of Bright Eyed Baker

2. Lemon Lime Cupcake

“Lemon Lime Cupcakes are loaded with fresh citrus flavor, both in the cake and fluffy buttercream frosting. They’re sure to make your summer a little more amazing!” – Jamie of My Baking Addiction

3. Lemon Lavender Cupcakes

“These Lemon Lavender Cupcakes are so light in flavor and will have your taste buds dying for spring! The sweet lemon cupcake with the light lavender frosting is such a delicious and fun combination!” – Lindsay Conchar for The Cake Blog

4. Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes

“The base of the cupcake is a moist lemon cake. Flavored with both lemon juice and lemon zest, it has a lovely lemon flavor to it. The raspberry frosting on top is flavored with fresh raspberry purée. All of the color in the frosting also comes from the purée, so there’s no need to break out any icing color.” – Lindsay of Life, Love and Sugar

5. Lemon Cupcakes with Fresh Blueberry Buttercream Frosting

“These Lemon Cupcakes with Fresh Blueberry Buttercream have been a dream of mine for months now. They’re lucky #7 on my baking bucket list, and they’re EVERYTHING a blueberry loving gal (or guy) could ask for. The fluffy cupcakes are bright and perky thanks to fresh lemon juice, zest, and lemon extract… and the blueberry frosting?! It’s amazing AF. It’s sweet, beautiful, and colored 100% naturally with fresh blueberries. No food coloring here, thank you very much!.” – Ashley of Baker by Nature
