Triple-Citrus Cupcakes
- 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (from 3 lemons)
- 3 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (from 2 oranges)
- 3 tablespoons finely grated lime zest, plus more for garnish (from about 3 limes)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 9 large eggs, room temperature
- Citrus Glaze (made with lime juice and zest; page 315)
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Line standard muffin tins with paper liners.
- Whisk together flour and salt.
- With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl every few minutes.
- Add citrus zests.
- Reduce speed to medium, and add vanilla.
- Add eggs, three at a time, beating until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- Reduce speed to low.
- Add flour mixture in four batches, beating until completely incorporated after each.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full; tap pans on countertop once to distribute batter.
- Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 10 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely.
- Cupcakes can be stored up to 2 days at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
- To finish, dip tops of cupcakes in glaze, then turn over quickly and garnish with zest.
