Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a pan with cupcake liners.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Add the butter, oil, sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
- Combine the milk and lemon juice, then slowly add the mixture to the batter along with the lemon zest and mix until well combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix just until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
- When the cupcakes have cooled, make the buttercream. Add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
- Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice and the lemon zest to the frosting and mix until well combined.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and salt and mix until well combined and smooth. Add additional lemon juice as needed to get the right consistency and flavor.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. I used Ateco tip 844.
- Cupcakes are best when stored well covered and eaten within 2-3 days. They can be left at room temperature for about 24 hours, then refrigerated. Serve at room temperature.

LEMON CUPCAKES
Here is a recipe I use for beautifully delicious lemon cupcakes. Ideally, you'd use buttercream frosting to ice cupcakes, but I tried these with Lemon Cream Icing for a less buttery icing, and they were perfect! These cupcakes are truly lighter than air and will melt in your mouth.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 30 cupcake pan cups with paper liners.
- Sift the self-rising flour and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Gently beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, one third at a time, alternating with half the milk and half the lemon juice after each of the first 2 additions of flour. Beat until just combined; do not over mix.
- Fill the prepared cupcake liners with batter 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a rack.
- To make the icing, beat the cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer set on Low until the cream begins to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice, a little at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated. Increase the mixer speed to High, and beat until the icing forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes. Spread on the cooled cupcakes. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:
- For the batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a mini cupcake pan with paper liners (use one 48-hole pan or two 24-hole pans).
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, letting them incorporate fully between additions. With the mixer on low, add in half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk, and then the remaining flour mixture; let each incorporate fully before the next addition. Then mix in the lemon and lime juice and lemon extract.
- Using a scoop, fill each mini cupcake cup three-quarters full with batter. Bake until golden and cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and allow them to cool completely.
- For the glaze: While the cupcakes are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and lemon and lime zest in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, dip the top of each cupcake in the glaze, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Chill the cupcakes in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold and enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in zest and vanilla. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of buttermilk and lemon juice, and beating until just combined after each.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
- To finish, spread 1 tablespoon lemon curd onto middle of each cupcake. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large open-star tip (Ateco #828 or Wilton #8B) with frosting. Pipe frosting onto each cupcake, swirling tip slightly and releasing as you pull up to form a peak. Hold a small kitchen torch 3 to 4 inches from surface of frosting, and wave it back and forth until frosting is lightly browned all over. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF (170ºC).
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and slowly add the sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the sugar mixture. Add salt and mix until just combined.
- Add the vanilla, milk, and lemon juice, and mix until incorporated.
- Scoop mixture into a lined cupcake tin about ¾ full.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly from the center of the cupcakes. Let cupcakes cool.
- Prepare the lemon curd by whisking the yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, add the lemon juice and zest. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Once the curd coats the back of a spoon, add the butter and stir until melted.
- Remove from the heat, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Make sure the cling film touches the surface of the curd so that a film doesn't form on top.
- Prepare the frosting by whisking the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until it thickens and the sugar dissolves completely. Tempering the eggs will ensure the frosting is food safe without being baked.
- Remove from the heat, add the cream of tartar, and beat about 10 minutes until soft peaks form.
- Using a piping tip or a knife, cut a hole into the top of the cupcakes and press down to make a well for the curd.
- Add lemon curd into the cupcakes and frost them with the meringue.
- Torch the frosting or carefully broil for about 3 to 4 minutes. Be sure that you use foil cupcake liners if broiling!
- Enjoy!
