Lemon Zest Cupcakes
Yield: 48 cupcakes
Ingredients

- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups solid shortening
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 6 eggs
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cupcake pans or line with paper liners.
- In the bowl of electric mixer, combine all ingredients. Mix at low speed, then at high speed as flour becomes moistened. Beat until batter is creamy, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into cups about 3/4 full.
