Lemon Cupcakes

• Source Helen Jackson's Kitchen

• 1/2 Cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 Cup oil
• 1/4 Teaspoon salt
• 1/2 Cup natural yoghurt
• 1 lemon rind  (finely grated)
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 Cup self raising flour
• 2 Cup icing sugar
• 75 Gram butter
• 1 Tablespoon milk
• 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla essence

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place 12 paper cases in a muffin tin or grease the muffin tin with oil.
2. Beat sugar and egg until pale and creamy. Mix in oil, salt, yoghurt, and lemon rind and juice.
3. Gently fold in flour, then spoon mixture into cupcake cases or muffin cups.
4. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and springy to touch. Cool on a wire rack.
5. To make the frosting, beat icing sugar and butter in a bowl for 5 minutes — this is easiest in an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Add the milk and vanilla extract and continue to whip until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6. Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
