Want something a bit fancy? Try these delicious Lemon Meringue Cupcakes. Just a little bit naughty!

Cupcake Mixture:

Ingredients:

125 grams of butter
250 grams of self raising flour
2 eggs
vanilla extract
185 grams caster sugar
pinch salt
5 – 6 tablespoons milk

Lemon Filling:

(Alternatively you can use 1 cup pre-made lemon curd)

1 egg
1 egg yolk
juice of one small lemon
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup butter

Meringue Topping:

3 egg whites
1/2 cup caster sugar

Method

First make the cupcakes: Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Then add sifted flour and salt, alternatively with the milk.

Lastly add essence. Cook 10 – 12 minutes (pre-heat oven on 230 degrees) then reduce temp to 200 degrees for cooking time.

Let the cupcakes cool on a rack. When cooled, use a teaspoon to scoop out a hole in the top of the cupcake. Fill to the top with the cooled lemon filling.

Dollop the top of the cupcake with meringue and quickly grill or place in a hot oven for a few minutes for the meringue to set.

Lemon filling: Beat the egg and egg yolk in a metal bowl set over simmering water.

Beat in the lemon, butter and sugar and whisk until the mixture has thickened to ‘yogo’ consistency. Cool in the fridge.

Meringue: Beat the egg whites and sugar in a bowl for 10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved.

Pip the mixture onto the top of the lemon meringue cupcake.

I made these tonight and they turned out beautiful! I only changed the cake batter because I didn't have any vanilla extract soI I added a teaspoon or less of maple ssyrup and a few table spoons of the lemon curd for a faint flavour of lemon through the cake. Was absolutely delicious!!! Thanks x
