Lemon Drizzle Cupcakes

Lemon Drizzle Cupcakes

An irresistible Lemon Drizzle Cupcakes recipe from the Quick After-Work Cookbook.



Lemon Drizzle Cupcakes

Ingredients

Butter 150g (5oz)

Caster sugar 150g (5oz)

Self-raising flour 150g (5oz)

Eggs 2

Milk 2 tbsp

Lemon 1, finely grated zest and juice, plus extra zest to garnish (optional)

Granulated sugar 50g (2oz)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°fan/Gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cake cases.

2

Tip the butter, caster sugar, flour, eggs and milk into a bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in the lemon zest. Divide the mixture between the paper cases.

3

Bake the cakes for 15–18 minutes or until they have risen and are a light golden colour and spring back when lightly pressed. Transfer to a wire rack.

4

Mix the granulated sugar with the lemon juice and spoon over the hot cupcakes. Sprinkle with more lemon zest, if you like. These cakes can be eaten when they are still slightly warm or left to cool completely.

  1. Self raising flour is not easily available here. How much baking powder do I use please?
