Ingredients

  • 9/16 cup butter soft
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 3/8 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • lemon curd if you do not find it in the fine foods section of your supermarket, make the cream for a lemon meringue pie and use the surplus as a spread
  • 2 egg whites
  • 7 15/16 tablespoons white sugar

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pour the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, milk, and eggs into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into baking cups and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on cup size), the blade of a knife should come out clean.
  • Once the cakes cool, carve them out with a small sharp knife.
  • Fill them with lemon curd using a teaspoon.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff; when they have almost peaked, add sugar gradually.
  • Put this meringue into a pastry bag and squeeze out pretty rosettes on top of each cupcake.
  • Brown the cupcakes in the broiler for a few seconds.
