On Friday, I shared my favorite recipe for Lemon Curd. It is good eaten right out of the jar, but it is also great for creating desserts, like these Lemon Curd Cupcakes. I put a little lemon curd inside of a lemon cupcake and the combo is lemonicious! There is lots of lemon going on and that is just how I like it! These cupcakes are bursting with lemon and that is a very good thing.
I don’t bake cupcakes very often because I am a cookie girl at heart, but after tasting these cupcakes, I think I need to bake cupcakes more often. They are amazing! I could get used to this cupcake thing. I baked up a basic lemon cupcake and when they came out of the oven I cut a little piece out of the center and filled the cupcakes with lemon curd.
I piped buttercream frosting on top of the cupcakes and added yellow sprinkles. You don’t have to add sprinkles, but they are super cute and give the cupcakes a little burst of sunshine! Plus, Caleb is all about the sprinkles. They are his favorite. Maybe I should try putting sprinkles on his vegetables:)
The cupcakes were almost too pretty to eat, but we did! Oh, we did! We ate them ALL. Ok, we shared with friends, but they didn’t last long. Everyone was dying over these cute cuppy cakes!
And I loved watching everyone’s reaction when they found the lemon curd in the center. Good, just got better! The hidden lemon curd inside was a very pleasant surprise! Double the lemon, double the YUM! If you are looking for a fun and delicious recipe for spring, you have to make Lemon Curd Cupcakes. They are sure to brighten your day…and anyone’s day you decide to share them with. I am going to make a batch for Easter! They are the perfect spring cupcake!
