Cream together the caster sugar, lemon extract or juice and stork until pale and fluffy.

In a separate bowl or jug lightly whisk the eggs until all combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the eggs into the creamed sugar mix and gently whisk until all combined.

Step 5

Sift in the flour and carefully fold until completely combined.

Step 6

Put an ice-cream scoop of mixture into each cupcake case.

Step 7

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and springy to touch, and cool on a wire rack.

Whilst cooling, mix together the stork, lemon zest, lemon juice or extract, a few drops of lemon food colouring, milk and icing powder until smooth and thick.
