Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool before icing.
  9. For the icing, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice until desired consistency is reached. Frost cooled cupcakes.

Notes

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the amount of lemon zest.
  • Ensure that the butter is softened for easier mixing.
  • These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
