⅛ teaspoon Salt
2½ teaspoon Freshly-grated lemon zest
½ Stick Unsalted butter; softened
½ cup Sugar; plus
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice; plus
2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line four ½-cup muffin tins with paper liners. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk in 2 teaspoons zest. In another bowl with a fork, blend butter, ½ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon juice until smooth. With a wooden spoon beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until smooth. Stir butter mixture into flour mixture until batter is combined well. In a small bowl with a fork stir together cream cheese and remaining ½ teaspoon zest, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon juice until lemon cream is smooth. Spoon 3 level tablespoons batter and about 1 tablespoon lemon cream into each paper liner. Spoon remaining batter over lemon cream, smoothing tops. Bake cupcakes in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until golden brown, and transfer to a rack to cool. This recipe yields 4 cupcakes.
