Lemon Cupcakes With Lemon Buttercream

One of my favorite bakes is a lemon drizzle cake, so last week I decided it was time to have a go at some lemon cupcakes. I love the sweetness of the sugar combined with the sharpness of the lemon. I have to say these cupcakes didn't disappoint and the lemon buttercream worked really well.

For the cupcakes

• 4oz butter
• 4oz caster sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4 oz self raising flour
• zest of 1 lemon
• A squeeze of lemon juice

For the frosting

• 300g icing sugar
• 100g butter
• juice of half a lemon
• Fresh raspberries to decorate
• Preheat the oven to 180C. 
• Mix all the cake ingredients together. I find that it is easier if the butter is melted in the microwave first.
