2. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 5 to 6 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

3. Add Lime Flavor: Beat in the egg, 1 tablespoon of grated lime peel, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice until well combined.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine Ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, alternately beat the sour cream into the butter mixture with the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

8. Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the pan and let them cool completely on the wire rack.
