Ingredients
For the cupcakes
150g butter, at room temperature
225g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
juice and zest of 1-2 lemons
300g plain flour
1 level teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarb of soda
1 pinch salt
300ml soured cream
For the buttercream
45g butter
270g icing sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
a drop of vanilla extract
15ml milk
Method
Beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy and light, then stir in the sugar and vanilla. Stir in eggs one by one, stirring well after adding each one. Stir in the grated lemon zest and juice of half a lemon.
Mix the flour, baking powder, bicarb of soda and salt and stir alternately with the soured cream into the batter.
Grease 15 muffin cups or line with paper cases. Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. This recipe yields 12 cupcakes plus an extra 2-3 cupcakes so that you are still left with a dozen after testing them yourself.
Spoon the batter into the prepared tins and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Push a skewer into the centre of one of the cakes - if it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tins for about 10 minutes and then remove to cool completely on a wire cake rack.
For the buttercream, beat the butter until fluffy, stir in half of the icing sugar (be careful not to get it everywhere!) and then alternately stir in the lemon juice, the milk and the rest of the icing sugar. This produces quite a lot of buttercream, but my kids just lick the buttercream off the cupcakes, so I'm always happy to make extra so they can decorate them again afterwards. Squirt the buttercream with a piping bag or spread it on top of the cupcakes with a knife.
muffins into work today as a treat. They were gone by lunchtime, with lots of requests for more. Even someone who actually isn't fond of lemon ate two of these very moreish muffins!
