These juicy key lime cupcakes are always a hit. The secret ingredient is a box of lime jello in the mix to make them green. Straight out of the oven, the warm cakes are poked with a toothpick and infused with a lime simple syrup, then filled with lime curd. This totally amps up the tartness factor! Topped with a dollop of limey cream cheese icing and you are in key lime heaven!

These juicy “Key Lime” cupcakes are just the thing for Spring! The cupcakes are a juicy lime cake with a lime simple syrup poured over them while warm (this really infuses the lime flavor into the cake). There is a creamy lime filling made by mixing equal parts tangy lime curd and Swiss Meringue Buttercream (SMBC) with a dollop of lime curd on top. To balance the tartness, they are topped with a halo of lime cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of lime zest. Now THAT’S sunshine!
