Making the cake batter:
2
Start by preheating your oven to 170°C / 340°F / Gas mark 3
3
Prepare an ordinary size 12 cup muffin tin, and line the cups with 12 standard cupcake cases.
4
Add the flour, Sugar, butter, and eggs to a stand mixer bowl.
5
Using the paddle attachment, bring the mix together on the slowest speed, for a few seconds.
6
Once it has all combined, speed up the machine to medium fast and mix for exactly 1 minute.
7
Stop the machine, and reset your timer to 30 seconds, and add the milk and vanilla.
8
Restart the machine on medium fast again for 30 seconds this time.
9
Evenly divide the cake batter, between the 12 cake cases.
10
Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven, and set the timer for 20 minutes.
11
Once the time is up, place the muffin tray on a wire rack, Leave them there, until the cakes are completely cooled.
12
Making the Lemon butter cream frosting:
13
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl, and blend them all together, using a spatula.
14
Once the mixture is combined, whip it for one minute, using a balloon hand whisk.
15
Add a few drops of yellow food colouring, and whisk again for a few seconds, until the colour is even.
16
Once your frosting is ready, spoon it into a piping bag, with a medium size star nozzle attached, you would be wise to split the mixture into 2 parts, and do half the mixture for 6 cakes first.

When your cakes have completely cooled, pipe the butter cream onto the cake, try to do this in one movement.
