I always want to experiment with watermelon. A juicy delicious fruit of summer. Don’t you love it? Already posted some recipes with watermelon and I have one more to share.
Baking is my stress buster. I always bake to refresh my mood. Love the aroma of baking. So here are the soft and yummy watermelon Cupcakes.

Milk powder – 1/4 cup

Lemon juice – 2 teaspoon
Lemon zest – 1/4 teaspoon

INSTRUCTIONS :
- Preheat the oven at 180°.

- Sieve refined flour, baking powder, soda and milk powder. Mix well and keep aside.
- In a large bowl add powdered sugar, oil, watermelon juice and lemon juice. Beat until sugar dissolves completely.
