Birthday-Chip



For Chip's 40th birthday, his sister knew that he would want his favorite cake flavor, Spice Cake with Lemon Buttercream. Citrus buttercream is always a challenge as far as getting the tart right without "turning" the butter. I grated real lemon zest into the buttercream alongwith lemon oil to get more of the tart flavor. I had to try one myself and I must say it is a yummy combo of the tart with the spice. I also made a batch of Reese's Peanut Butter cupcakes to go with it. Happy Birthday Chip!
