I have made these twice and each time I got tons of compliments. So much more flavorful than a more traditional cupcake!

These are awesome! I baked them twenty five minutes and they were perfect! You will want to double this recipe to have more to enjoy! They are easy but a little bit of work for barely a dozen.

This is a great cupcake! Just the right amount of lime flavoring. I did have to bake them for 30 minutes instead of the 25 minutes suggested. I added toasted coconut in addition to the zested lime on top.

Oh my gosh! These cupcakes are AH-MAZING! I love them so much. They are just perfect amount of lime flavor and a little bite of coconut. The only flaw is the frosting needs more lime, we just added the zest and more juice. Otherwise, they are the best cupcakes you will eat!

These had a great flavor, and the white chocolate frosting is perfect for them. We like our lime-flavored desserts lightly limey, so this was just perfect, but if you like a strong lime flavor, I'd double the lime juice in the cupcake.

this was an amazing cupcake!! even though it says 14 cupcakes, i followed the recipe exactly and it made 19 cupcakes. i had to bake them for 30 minutes instead of 25 but that didnt matter cuz they turned out delicious! i would have put a little less coconut tough. the icing was even better than the cake! If you decide to double the cake recipe i would keep the icing amount the same as it made more than enough for 19 cupcakes. i will definately use this recipe again! even my mother, who isnt crazy about coconut, gave them 2 thumbs up!

Mine were like another poster here - flat and greasy. Followed the recipe to a T. Batter was light and fluffy, so I had high hopes, but I could not taste the lime at all. It tasted like a sweet, but greasy, coconut cupcake. I threw them out. Never got to the icing, but I'm going to try it separately based on good reviews here.

These were perfect, not too sweet, and with a bit of tang! I didn't put the white chocolate in the icing, and used only two cups icing sugar. I will be using this recipe for my cupcake tire at my wedding!

YUM! I made these for Easter Brunch. They were a hit! I picked the recipe last minute because I had all of the ingredients. I grew up with a Key Lime tree in my back yard and we only knew Key Lime flavor, not Persian limes so this was a taste of childhood. I will be making this an Easter tradition. The frosting is really a yummy match for the cupcake and was fluffy and tangy.
