As the yellow from the rainbow cake was such a lovely shade, and we had lemon curd at home, it seemed only right to try out the lemon cupcake recipe. We had a do at one of Mr Becca's colleagues' homes today, a family day, and he'd volunteered me to bring a dessert item. Team Becca are all kind of over cake and cupcakes, so to switch things up a bit I used lemon zest and juice in the batter. I had some coloured muffin cases (I use these, as opposed to cupcake cases) so thought they'd look more fun in matching yellow cases. I cored then filled the baked cupcakes with lemon curd and put some lemon curd into the buttercream too - along with a touch of the yellow food colour.
And guess what?! They went down a storm at the lunch, and with all the Team, woo hoo! Everyone agreed that they were deliciously lemony not too sweet or tart. They're a definite winner...
