Wash and then zest your lemons then squeeze out all the juice to make 6 Tablespoons
Combine all of the dry cake ingredients including the sugar into a large mixing bowl to whisk by hand
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk by hand for about 50 strokes until smooth
Portion the batter into the Twinkie pan filling ¾ way to the top and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes or when they are springy to the touch when you gently press the centers
Cool the cakes in the pan until you can safely turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.
Meanwhile prepare your buttercream recipe and once the cakes are cooled poke 3 holes into the bottom and pipe some buttercream into each one
