Test Kitchen tips
  • Not a fan of iced tea? Use powdered lemonade mix instead of the tea mix in the frosting.
  • Want a sheet cake? Pour batter into a 13x9-in. baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Need a layer cake? Pour batter into two 8- or 9-in. baking pans. They'll take about 20 minutes or so to bake.

    Text Ingredients

    Directions

    1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest and lemon juice. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition (batter will be thick).
    2. Fill 30 paper-lined muffin cups with 1/4 cup batter. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
    3. For frosting, combine butter and confectioners' sugar in a small bowl until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. In another small bowl, stir together milk and iced tea mix until dissolved. Add to butter mixture; beat until smooth. Frost cupcakes.
