1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For the lemon frosting

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1–2 tbsp heavy cream
Ingredient note
Heavy cream only becomes a problem on a lactose free diet in larger amounts; this recipe uses only about 1/2 teaspoon per serving, so it is likely fine on a lactose free diet. If you prefer to always avoid heavy cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 pinch salt

For serving

thin lemon slices or lemon zest curls, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
