So this week's lime cupcakes were a nice change from the heavier cupcakes we have had in the past couple weeks. The cupcakes will be a hit with anyone who enjoys lime and are pretty simple to make as well. I did not use self rising flour, but instead tried to recreate my own with baking soda, regular flour and salt. I did not use enough baking soda so the cake part came out a lot denser than intended. Some tasters commented they enjoyed the denser cake with the fluffy meringue, others would have preferred the cupcakes to be fluffier, so I guess you can never win them all!
