Vanilla Cupcakes

Perfect (to me) Vanilla Cupcakes

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/3 cups organic sugar
6 large eggs (preferably organic)
2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tbsp lemon zest
3 cups all purpose unbleached flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cream
-Method-
Preheat your oven to 350. In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and incorporate after each addition. Add the vanilla and lemon zest and combine.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet in three additions, alternating with the cream, and ending with the flour mixture.
Fill your cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full and bake for 18 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
