  1. Preheat oven to 175C and line 20 muffin holes with cupcake wrappers.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer until soft. Slowly add the caster sugar and the lemon zest and beat until the mixture is fluffy and light.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one is added.
  4. Remove bowl from mixer, add the flour and baking powder and fold gently into the mixture.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the cupcake wrappers to approximately two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for approximately 16 minutes or until you can insert a skewer and it comes out cleanly. The cupcakes will have risen and be golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and place the cupcakes on wire racks to cook completely. Once cooled, these cupcakes can be iced with your favourite icing. This recipe will make 15 large or approximately 20 smaller cupcakes.
