Preparation
1.Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat in egg replacer, buttermilk, lemon zest and vanilla; mix well.
2.In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients then gradually add the flour to the large bowl; mix well. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with 1/4 cup of batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3.For frosting, cream butter and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, vanilla, and lemon zest; beat until smooth. Decorate the cupcakes.
4.This type of icing is low-fat but very sweet. You may try to mix 3 oz cream cheese, 1 oz butter, 1-1 ½ cup confectioner’s sugar, and 1 tsp lemon zest instead to make creamy icing instead.
