Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes with Glaze.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and lining 24 muffin cups with cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the sugar and softened butter, then beat them together with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, like a cloud.

   Next, add in the eggs and a splash of vanilla extract, continuing to mix until everything is smooth and well blended.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

   To give your blueberries a little extra love, toss them in the remaining flour to coat them gently.
