Hello out there in Foodie Land! I've got a doozy for you: Lemon 7-upcakes. It's been one of those days and we needed a pick-me-up in the office. Who doesn't enjoy a little lemony treat every now and then? It's been a little rainier than what we're used to in Southern California so cupcakes are definitely what the doctor ordered.
This recipe is adapted from this one. I had never made cupcakes from scratch and it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I thought the 7-up was a nice little added kick to these treats but that's optional. I encourage you to do (or use) whatever you would like and just have fun! If you're feeling really adventurous, you might throw a cherry on top! Let's get to the main event, shall we?
