    They are the perfect blend of multiple tastes, such as a sweet and citrus base with a very delicious citrus lime frosting. 

    This combination will undoubtedly blow everyone away. Amazingly delicious and bursting with zesty lime flavor.

    How to make Eggless Key Lime Cupcakes?

    If you have been following me for a while, then you know that my love for eggless cupcakes runs deep. I love experimenting with different combinations to create egg-free cupcakes.

    This time I have used a few simple ingredients such as curd, milk, and lime flavor to create these moist eggless Key Lime cupcakes.

    To make these cupcakes, combine dry and wet ingredients until it forms a smooth batter. Line the cupcake tray with liners. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full. 

    Bake in a preheated oven (@325 degrees F) for 18-20 minutes.

    WHAT ARE KEY LIMES?

    Key limes are aromatic and have a slightly herbal-floral aroma. They are more acidic and add a refreshing citrus flavor to these cupcakes.

    Don’t be disheartened if you can’t find Key lime in your grocery store.

    Other tested and tried citrus options are –

    • oranges,
    • grapefruit, and
    • regular lime.

    KEY LIME FROSTING!

    Additionally, the frosting on top can be created with a variety of different ingredients, such as whipped cream, buttercream, or cream cheese.

    Either way, it turns out to be delicious.

    I prefer the light whipped cream method, which allows for a light but a delectable layer of frosting.
