Baking Saturday: Lemon and white chocolate cupcakes
Happy sweet Sunday everyone! I spent Saturday afternoon baking lots of treats for the family, when you have a big family who knows you bake once a week you always get requests!!lol so, of course, I have multi pull things cooking a once!! I wanna share one of them today as always on SWEET SUNDAY!
The recipe this week is Lemon and White Chocolate Cupcakes!! Another great summer recipe that everyone will love. It’s a really easy to follow Recipe, I hope you like it!!
All you need is:
- 125g butter softened
- 125g caster sugar
- Zest of ½ a lemon
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 150g plain flour
- 6 tsp lemon curd
- 100g white chocolate chunks
Icing –
- 150g butter (softened)
- 150g icing sugar
- a few drops of lemon extract
- yellow food coloring
Preheat your oven to 180℃, and prepare your cupcake tray with cases, this recipe makes 12 cupcakes.
Cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer, add the lemon zest and eggs and stir till combined. Then stir in the flour and baking powder till combined, and finally add the white chocolate chunks and stir.
Spoon the mixture into the cases, one tsp each, then spoon a tsp of the lemon curd into each and then another spoon of the mix on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes then remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
To make the icing simply mix together the butter, icing sugar, lemon zest with an electric beater. When you‘ve done that and your icing is the consistency you want (you can add more icing sugar to make it thicker) just add a few drops of the yellow food coloring and stir.
To decorate the cupcakes I just used a knife a to spread the icing onto each cupcake, nothing fancy just simple so they look homemade.
