2 cups sugar

2 3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbs baking powder

Frosting Ingredients: 

1 cup butter, room temp

zest from 1 lemon

4 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup lemonade

Mix your cake ingredients together, then bake at 425 for approximately 20 minutes. Allow to cool. Mix your frosting ingredients together, then top your cupcakes. Add extra cut strawberries as a garnish.
