- Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Make the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
- Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, then beat on high speed until fluffy.
