3 eggs
1 cup Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 ¼ cups milk
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
Lemon Frosting:
½ cup butter (room temperature)
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream
optional: a few drops of yellow food coloring
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, lemon juice, and milk. In a separate bowl combine the sugar, salt, flour, baking powder, and baking soda with a whisk. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour into cupcake cups and bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Beat the frosting ingredients together in a mixer until smooth and creamy and spread on the cooled cupcakes.
