Set aside. 3 Place butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium with paddle attachment until fluffy. Scrape around the edges and across the bottom once or twice to make sure everything is incorporated. 4 Add lemon zest and eggs one at a time while continuing to mix on medium low speed. 5 Slowly spoon half the flour into mixture at low speed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. 6 Continue on medium speed alternating between spooning in flour and pouring in milk and lemon juice. Mix until a smooth cake batter is formed. 7 Spoon batter into cupcake papers, filling each one to the top. 8 Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean after being inserted down the center. 9 Place cupcake pan on cooling rack to cool 10-15 min.. Remove each cupcake and place on rack to cool completely. 10 Now make your frosting!
