Fill liners 2/3 of the way.
Bake 19-22 minutes. Your toothpick should come out clean when checked!

Remove cupcakes and cool completely before you frost!

Key Lime Buttercream Frosting

8oz butter (unsalted & room temp)

8oz cream cheese (softened, just let it set out while you make the cupcakes)

1 lbs powdered (confectioners’) sugar

Cream together butter and cream cheese

Slowly add powdered sugar mixing on low, mix in lime juice until nice and smooth!
