How-To Tuesday: Luscious Lemon Cupcakes

How's your sweet tooth doing today?

This past weekend, I played host to my best friend, her fiance, their son and her mom for her cake tasting, and I thought I'd share one of the recipes with you!

Divide into lined muffin pan and bake for 18 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick when the timer goes off.

Frost with your favourite vanilla or almond buttercream recipe!

Enjoy! The cake is very delicate and soft, so handle with care and eat immediately!
