I tried a recipe today that I pulled from Wilton.com. It's a margharita cupcake. The cake calls for the frozen lime margarhita mix. The cake is tangy. Husband says sour. http://www.cupcakefun.com/ideas/sf_margaritalime.cfm
The cream cheese key lime icing, suggested by Wilton, didn't pair nicely, in my opinion. I tried my standard buttercream, with a twist as follows:
1 cup butter
2 egg yolks
1 tsp fresh lime juice
3 tsp lemon zest
2 cups conf. sugar
My buttercream seemed a little better, but the cake is very tangy, to the point of tasting "dry" (because it's so sour). Almost like it gets stuck in your throat on the way down. It begs for a filling. I don't think anymore tangy flavors would do this cupcake justice. Do you have any suggestions for something slightly sweet that won't over power, but would provide a nice compliment to the sour? I think this cupcake has potential. Thanks
