Oh WOW…….these are amazing, if you like all things lemony and fresh then this is the little cupcake for you.

I had a jar of Sicilian Lemon Curd to be used up so thought I;d try some little cupcakes. Yummy….Yummy! Perfect with an afternoon cuppa.

Makes 12

1 Cup of Cream – I used the double light cream (healthier option…lol)

1 cup of caster sugar

2 eggs – beaten

1 1/2 cup of self raising flour

1 Lemon – grated rind and juice

250g cream cheese

125g salted butter

grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon

250g Icing Sugar – you may need more or less.

1. Preheat you oven to 180 deg
2. Put cream, caster sugar and eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.   
3. Grate the lemon rind into the bowl.                   
4. Sift in the flour and whisk until batter is thick and smooth.
5. Divide the mixture into your cup cases and bake for approx 15-20 minutes.
   

   

   

6. Allow cupcakes to cool slightly. Then taking a small teaspoon or knife dig some holes into the centre, not too big or too small. Then gently fill the holes with the lemon curd.

7. To make the buttercream:- Add the cream cheese, icing sugar, butter, rind and juice of 1/2 lemon into your mixing bowl and whisk until light and airy.

8. Add into a piping bag and pipe on top of your cupcakes covering the hole. To finish sprinkle some lemon rind on top.

Enjoy!
