1 Stick French Butter

1/3 C Organic Full-fat Cream Cheese

2 T Powdered Erythritol

2 T Thrive Market Switch or Monk Fruit Granular Sweetener

1 T IMO syrup or Raw Local Honey

Step 1: Mix Cake Batter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients including flour, lemonade powder, sweetener, baking powder and salt. Add yogurt, fat, eggs, milk, lemon zest and juice, almond and vanilla extracts. Whisk well until very smooth.

Step 2: Bake Cupcakes

Line mini muffin tins with mini non-stick cupcake liners. Spoon cake batter into the liners to 3/4 full. You'll have enough batter to make about 30 - 32 cupcakes. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm.

Step 3: Make Frosting

In a deep bowl mix frosting ingredients with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. When cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with a knife or using a pastry bag and star tip. Sprinkle with a few naturally colored, tapioca starch nonpareils if you have them.

ENJOY!
