    MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
    175 g Softened butter
    350 g Icing sugar

    You'll need a 12 cavity muffin tin and paper cases
    (liners).

    Set the oven @ 180ºC/355ºF.

    Using a whisk, beat together the butter and the sugar
    until light and fluffy.

    Add the eggs, flour (sifted), milk and the zest of the
    two lemons and a little squeeze of juice.

    Mix everything until it is a smooth mixture.

    Spoon one and a half tea spoons of the mix into the cake
    cases.

    Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins.

    While they are cooking, make the icing by whisking the
    butter in a bowl. Then add the icing sugar and mix.

    Add the zest if any remaining lemon zest and however
    much of the rest of lemon juice. (depending how zingy
    you want them to be)

    Put the cakes on a cooling rack to cool. When they have
    finished cooling, pipe or spread the icing in to the
    cakes.

    You could add a lemon flavour sweet or a small pice of
    chopped up lemon if wanted. And there you have it, one
    batch of delicious Zingy lemon cupcakes ready to take to
    a party or picnic or just to put in a box to save for
    another day. Make sure you have eaten them in a week or
    they won't taste as good as they are meant to.
