Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 325 for convection bake). Butter and flour standard muffin tin. In a medium bowl, whisk the four with the baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt (or buttermilk) vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside.

- Set the rack over wax or parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir confectioners' sugar with teh remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth (add more lemon juice if needed). Pour over the cakes, spreading to the edges with a small knife. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
