Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the lemon zest and lemon juice.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
• Lemon Frosting
• In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
• If desired, add a few drops of yellow food coloring to achieve a vibrant lemon color.
• Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the lemon frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
