Lemon Cupcakes
My girls just love lemon drizzle cake. It is, however, generally full of sugar, so I promised I would try to make a healthier version for them. I thought they were just delicious without any frosting or icing – healthier too. You can use whipped coconut cream frosting if you do fancy a little extra yumminess.

Frosting
