How to Prepare Easy and Zesty Lemon Drizzle Cupcakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a cupcake tin with liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, and lemon zest.
Slowly add the lemon juice, water, and oil. Mix this until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Fill each cupcake case with batter, about 3/4 full.
Bake them for 20-25 minutes. You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean. Once baked, place the cupcakes onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool fully.
Whilst the cakes cool, prepare the frosting.
