Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). If using a convection oven, preheat to 320°F (160°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2
Melt the butter and mix it with the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar until light and creamy.
3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5
Zest the lemon and add the zest and lemon juice to the batter.
6
Gradually add the milk, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
7
Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
