Ingredients

• 100g butter or margarine
• 100g caster sugar
• 100g self-raising flour, sifted
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
• 1 lemon, finely grated zest of
• 75g butter
• 175g icing sugar, sifted
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Method

• Make the lemon cupcakes
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (Electric oven | Electric fan oven 160°C | Gas Mark 4) and place 12 paper cases into a muffin tin.
  • Using an electric whisk, food processor or wooden spoon, beat the butter, sugar and 1/2 the lemon zest (save 1/2 for the icing) until very light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well before adding the next.
  • Carefully fold in the flour (and baking powder if using).
  • Alternatively, you can mix the ingredients together using a food processor. Use the pulse button to mix together in between adding the ingredients in the order above.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 - 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if the lemon cupcakes are ready by inserting a cocktail stick into one of the cupcakes. If it comes out dry then the cupcakes are done. If not, then back in the oven for a few minutes more. Don't overcook the cupcakes otherwise they will dry out. Lift the lemon cupcakes out of the muffin tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Make the lemon butter icing
• Using an electric whisk, food processor or wooden spoon, beat the butter until very soft.
• Gradually add the icing sugar and the rest of the lemon zest and beat into the butter. Add some of the juice of the zested lemon until you have a smooth paste. When the cakes are cool, drizzle some lemon icing mixture over the top. These cupcakes are best eaten on the day they are made.

I Hope They Came Out As Pretty As Mine.
