1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
2 teaspoons lemon peel, grated |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3 1/2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups sour cream |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 teaspoon lemon peel, grated |
1 -2 tablespoon milk |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add lemon peel and vanilla and mix well.
2. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. The batter will be thick.
3. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with 1/4 cup of batter.
4. Bake at 350ยบ for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
5. Cool 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
