Method

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) bake. Line cupcake trays with 30 paper liners.

Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl.

In another bowl, beat the butter and Chelsea White Sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating until well incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Gently mix 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.

Spoon batter into cupcake liners, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 17 minutes, until cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in tins for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Icing
Place butter and Chelsea Icing Sugar in a bowl and beat well until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla essence, hot water and lemon zest. Beat again until smooth. Spoon or pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
