I first discovered my love for key lime desserts during a family vacation in Florida. The vibrant, tangy flavor instantly became a favorite, and I’ve been experimenting with key lime recipes ever since. These Key Lime Cupcakes are a personal favorite of mine, blending the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I’m reminded of sunny days and the joy of creating something special to share with loved ones whenever I make them. I hope these cupcakes bring the same delight to your kitchen as mine. Substitution: If you can’t find key limes anywhere, you can substitute them with a combination of regular fresh lime juice and lemon juice in equal parts. A ½ teaspoon key lime extract can also work in a pinch. Buying Guide: When buying key limes, look for firm and heavy ones for their size, which indicates juiciness. Avoid limes with hard or shriveled skins. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
