Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a pan with cupcake liners.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Add the butter, oil, sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
- Combine the milk and lemon juice, then slowly add the mixture to the batter along with the lemon zest and mix until well combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix just until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
- When the cupcakes have cooled, make the buttercream. Add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
- Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice and the lemon zest to the frosting and mix until well combined.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and salt and mix until well combined and smooth. Add additional lemon juice as needed to get the right consistency and flavor.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. I used Ateco tip 844.
- Cupcakes are best when stored well covered and eaten within 2-3 days. They can be left at room temperature for about 24 hours, then refrigerated. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- For a sweeter cupcake, use 1.5 cups of sugar instead of 1 cup.
- For a more moist cupcake, use 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of milk.
- For a more citrusy cupcake, use 3 tablespoons of lemon zest instead of 2 tablespoons.
- To make sure the cupcakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
- For a smooth frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For a professional look, pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Top the cupcakes with a sprinkle of lemon zest or a fresh raspberry for a finishing touch.
