Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F Insert liners into medium cupcake pans.
- Prepare cupcakes. Melt butter and lemon zest on low heat; the heat helps release the flavors and spice the butter.
- In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt.
- Place eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl, beating on medium speed.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the melted butter and mix until mixture is light and airy.
- Fill the cupcake liners two-third full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cupcakes are springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in cupcake's center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Prepare glaze: in an eletric mixer,beat butter with powdered sugar and lemon juice until frosting is integrated and smooth (add 1 more tablespoon of lemon juice for creamier texture if desired).
- Using a spatula, spread frosting on each cupcake, decorating with lemon zest.
