This lemoneee buttermilk cupcake will make you pucker up just taking a whiff of it! Actually, just writing about it now makes my mouth water because I know how moist and boholicious they are.

Rather than go totally from ‘scratch’, I decided to save some time using a pre-packaged cake mix~I think cake mixes have evolved over the years and there are some really good ones out there. By embellishing with the yogurt and buttermilk and an extra egg, it gives the batter much more flavor and kick. You can opt to use the drizzle, a dusting of powdered sugar would be delightful as would a dollop of another scoop of lemon yogurt or ice cream on top of the cupcake!
