Lemon & Elderflower Curd Cupcakes are so quick and easy to make. Hidden in their center is a luscious pool of curd, making them so delicious!
After making my Lemon & Elderflower Curd recently I knew the next step would be to make something with it so today I bring you my Lemon & Elderflower Curd Cupcakes.
The curd is mixed into the cake mix and spooned on top of the cupcakes before they are baked.
As the cupcakes bake the curd sinks to form a delicious pool of gooeyness!
If you don’t have access to any elderflowers then I would suggest you use my Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd instead which would be equally fabulous!
These Lemon & Elderflower Curd Cupcakes didn’t last long in our house and I can see them going on our regular bake list as they are so quick and easy to make.
I need to run down to the park to pick more Elderflowers before the season ends as I don’t have much curd left now!
