Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven 160°C). Line a muffin tin with
10 paper cases. Cream the butter in an electric food mixer until
soft. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy, then mix in the lemon zest.
Add the eggs one at a time and add a tablespoon of the flour with
the second egg, beat continuously, then sift in the flour and baking
powder. Divide the mixture between the paper cases and cook in
the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden and
springy to the touch.
Remove from the oven and cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes,
then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whilst the cupcakes are baking you can prepare the icing. Beat
together the cream cheese and butter. Beat in the vanilla, then sift
over the sugar and stir in until the sugar is combined, then beat
for one minute until fluffy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside in the
fridge whilst the cakes area baking. You can divide the icing into
two and colour with a few drops of food colouring.
Once the cakes are cold, swirl some of the icing on top of the cakes
and stick decorations into the icing. Allow to stand for around 30
minutes for the icing to set.
