For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to both the cupcake batter and the frosting. Be sure to use softened cream cheese and butter for the frosting to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or lemon juice at a time until you reach the desired consistency. These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
