DirectionsPin It

Prep your workspace and collect all ingredients. When ready to begin, preheat oven to 350 F. Place liners in cupcake pan. In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate, large bowl, add butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Using an electric mix, blend until smooth and pale. Beat in egg and vanilla. Next, add in the flour mixture and milk. Once thoroughly mixed, fold in cranberries. This will serve as your cupcake batter.

Place in oven for 20-25, or until golden brown. Take out and let cool for 10-15 minutes.

While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting. First, mix sugar and butter until softened and smooth. Stir in lemon peel and lemon juice. Mix until spreadable. Spread generously onto cupcakes and sprinkle with remaining cranberries. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!
