Eggless lemon cupcakes recipe - Once again I am here with another egg free baking recipe. This is dear hubby’s favorite cupcakes. He loves citrus and sweet flavors combined.
These cupcakes are really moist and soft. You won't believe that these cuties are eggless.
I have also made lemon flavored butter cream frosting which makes it more delicious.
I have already shared Eggless lemon cake recipe. It is already tried by many readers. One of the readers had tried that in cupcake form and he/she got success as well.
But still I am sharing this recipe because it is totally different from cake in terms of flavors and texture.
I have added some ground almonds in this recipe which gives really nutty taste to the cupcakes.
These cupcakes are very easy to make that baking beginners can also make it.

How to make eggless lemon cupcakes recipe:
1) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for at least 10 minutes.
2) Line a muffin tray with paper liners or spray it with nonstick cooking spray or lightly butter it.
3) Take all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix it till incorporated.
4) Take oil and sugar in another bowl.
5) Whisk and It will be sand like texture. Because we have less fat compared to sugar quantity.
6) Then add in yogurt, milk, zest, juice and vanilla extract.
7) Beat it well.
8) Add dry ingredients to wet.
9) Whisk till all comes together.
10) Add ground almonds

13) Bake into preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or till toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
14) Remove it from the oven; let it cool into the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove it to cooling rack and let it cool completely.
15) While cupcakes are cooling make the frosting. I have made lemon flavored frosting just like I made orange frosting for chocolate orange cupcakes. Quick recap - Beat the soften butter and powdered sugar in a bowl till it becomes smooth, light and fluffy. Then add lemon zest and lemon juice. again beat it till it is spreading consistency.
16) Once cupcakes are cool completely, spread the frosting with butter knife or back of the spoon. If you want you can pipe the frosting and decorate it however you like.
Let's have a bite of it, my mouth is watering as I am writing here. You can see the texture of it, I don't have to tell you that how good it is.
Serving suggestion: Enjoy this as a dessert. Make a big batch of it for parties or picnic or small get together.

I love the cupcakes, but my sister wants a lemon layer cake for her birthday. Can I use the recipe the same way or do I have to change something? Thanks so much!
Yana
Sorry, what I meant was is there a way to do it with the almond flour, because I noticed your eggless cake recipe has maida, and my sister is gluten-free!

Very little almond flour is used. Main structure comes from all purpose flour.
So you must use flour and cannot be substituted with almond flour.

Try this eggless lemon cake.
These cupcakes are super soft and not a good idea to make layer cake.
