Method

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line cupcake tray with 30 paper liners.
Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Gently beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, one third at a time, alternating with half the milk and half the lemon juice after each of the first 2 additions of flour. Beat until just combined; do not over mix.

Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 with batter, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a rack.

Icing
Place butter and icing sugar into a bowl or food mixer beat well until smooth or creamy. Add vanilla essence, hot water and lemon zest. Beat again until smooth.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, spoon or pipe icing onto them.
