Lemon Cupcakes

By bunny_cupcake

Adorable and sweet-tart, lemon cupcakes are brilliant with tea or frosted for any occasion- a lavender glaze is also lovely here.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1 tbsp Lemon zest
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1 1/4 tbsp Lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a muffin tin with paper cups or spray with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. In a seperate bowl, cream butter and sugar.

Beat eggs into creamed mixture one at a time. Beat in zest and vanilla. Mix lemon juice into milk in a measuring cup. Add dry mixture and milk mixture to butter/sugar mixture in alternating equal portions, beating after each addition.

Fill wrappers or muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 15-20 minutes for full sized cupcakes, 10 for mini.
