Recipe's preparation

    Lemon sour cupcakes
  1. Preheat oven to 160C. Grease or line (using patty pans) a 6 hole muffin tray. Set aside.

  2. Place lemon zest into mixing bowl and chop 10 sec/speed 7, or until quite fine. Set aside.

  3. Insert butterfly. Place butter and sugar into mixing bowl and beat 20 sec/speed 3, or until pale, creamy and evenly combined.

  4. Add egg and beat for a further 20 sec/speed 3, or until evenly combined. Remove butterfly.

  5. Add sour cream and the two flours and combine 10 sec/speed 5.

  6. Add reserved lemon zest and lemon juice and mix 10 sec/speed 3.

  7. Spoon mixture into prepared tray (or patty pans) and bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Set aside to cool while you prepare the icing.

  8. Lemon buttercream icing
  9. Insert butterfly. Place all ingredients into mixing bowl and beat 20 sec/speed 5. Top cooled cupcakes with icing (see Tips) and leave for a minimum of 30 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator (if you're in a hurry) and allow to set before serving.

Tip

Place your icing into a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle to create beautiful swirly icing on top of your cupcakes (as you can see, I was feeling lazy when I made these for the photo...)
