Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Lime zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, making sure to beat it well.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is well incorporated, then stir in the sour cream and zesty key lime juice.
  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter and top with crushed graham crackers.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool completely before topping with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend. Fresh key lime juice is recommended for the best flavor.
