Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  4. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture until just combined.
