    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    3

    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

    4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and lemon juice, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

    5

    Fill the muffin liners about three-quarters full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    6

    Let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before frosting.

    7

    For the lemon cream, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold in the powdered sugar, butter, and lemon juice until smooth.

    8

    Transfer the lemon cream to a piping bag fitted with your favorite tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

    9

    Garnish with fresh lemon zest before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
