If you’re looking for an easy lemon cupcake recipe that is super soft, moist, and bursting with lemon flavour, then this recipe is it! Fluffy cupcakes are filled with a half batch of my super easy eggless lemon curd recipe, and topped with a small batch of my all time favourite cream cheese frosting that has a slight kick of lemon too! The cupcakes are great on their own as well, so you can skip the lemon curd and frosting if you prefer (though I highly recommend them!).

INGREDIENTS:

Lemon Cupcakes
▢1¼ cups (150 g) flour - regular, all purpose (see note 1 on blog post if you want to use cake flour)
▢1½ tbsp (11 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour in some countries

Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you don't have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).
