I love this recipe!
Is it possible to buy limoncello instead of making it?

thanks, tartlette: i did the scoop and scrape, then sift, then spoon and scrape... the batter was certainly light and fluffy enough to float away. perhaps i was thinking the cake would be more of a chiffon-y texture. the lemon curd was just fine, as was the icing. i was just thinking the cake should be more lemony. maybe cut the buttermilk by a tablespoon and up the lemon juice by a tablespoon? what do you think?

bonnie-ann black: did not have a moisture issue when I make them and I was wondering if it could have come from the weighing of the flour? Did you spoon the flour in the measuring cups and leveled it off or did you scooped and leveled? I don't see why cake flour would not work here although I can't vouch for it (haven't tried it with those). You can also bump up the buttermilk a bit.
If you mean that the lemon curd was not tart enough, you can cetainly decrease the sugar content by 2 Tb and see if that works better for you.

Hope that helps.

i am a sucker for anything lemony and made this recipe as soon as i saw it. and while it was fairly easy, i found the cupcakes to be kind of on the heavy side -- i used all purpose flour, sifted and everything, but was wondering if cake flour might not make lighter cupcakes. couldn't get meyer lemons, so used regular ones, which were fine, though really not tart enough. mostly the cake was not light and moist as i was hoping for... so do you think cake flour would work better? (my guests certainly had no complaints and gobbled them up! i'm the one fussing.)

Lovely looking cupcakes Helen! I'm so jealous you get Meyer lemons, I've never had them.
Great story to go with it as well. I know what you mean by doing the rounds; whenever we go to Belgium that's all we seem to do. But we've wisened up a bit, these days we usually invite the whole family around to my parents', so we get to see everyone in one go and can spend the rest of our time shopping for chocolate and beer!

Where are Meyers ripe right now? Mine ripen in December. I've never known anyone in the Northern Hemisphere to have ripe ones in July!

This pregnancy I haven't wanted to eat much. However, your mention of lemons hit the spot for me. I like to eat them sliced with salt. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water. I think I'll go slice one!

I love your blog and read it regularly. Any chance you would post your recipe for homemade limoncello. It's a favorite of mine and I'd love to try your recipe.

Ha ha! That story about the moonshine was great! But I love even more how B took care of the lemons FOR you. What a guy. That gets major points. Thanks for the info on the Wilton cups as I have four or five packs of the old kind and noticed the new ones looked different. And shhhh about the limoncello! Jeremy loves that stuff - he might even sneak over and drink your cupboards dry! ;)
