Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with mini cupcake liners.
- Using a handheld mixer beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed in a large bowl until creamed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then beat on medium-high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
- Separately, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, start the mixer on low speed, then slowly add the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Spoon batter evenly into miniature cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before icing.
- To make icing combine cream cheese, erythritol and melted butter in a bowl and beat with a handheld mixer until creamy. Add in lemon juice and lemon zest and beat again.
- Using a piping bag or back on a spoon spread the icing evenly over the cupcakes, and then top with lemon zest.
- Any spare cupcakes will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days.

This recipe is for miniature cupcakes. It should make 12 regular size cupcakes.
