[un petit chou]

I made these cupcakes the other day and they are very good. I am testing out cupcakes to make for my friend's bridal shower and these are most likely the winner! I added the zest of 2 lemons and about 2 t. of lemon juice. I baked them for 20 minutes and frosted them with lemon cream cheese icing. The ONLY reason I am giving you 4 stars is because you left out the sugar in the directions but I assumed to beat it with the butter and I added more lemon zest out of personal preference. Besides that this is a really great recipe. They turn out so fluffy and tender. Thanks for sharing.
