I’m in puppy love with my Hefeweizen cupcakes. Maybe it’s because I’ve been on a quest to find the Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake and the past 15 or so cupcake recipes I’ve made have been some variety of vanilla, or maybe these Hefeweizen cupcakes really are just that good. If you are a beer fan (I’m talking about the kind of person who drinks beer for the taste)and you like wheat beer, you will truly appreciate this cupcake. With beer in both the cupcake and the glaze, they have a noticeable beer flavor. The cupcakes also contain a touch of lemon as though you squeezed some in your bottle at home.
