Recipe's preparation

    Cup cakes
  1. Heat oven to 180 degrees.


    Place sugar & lemon zest into the bowl & chop 20 secs speed 10.


    add butter & mix for 1 min, speed 5, scrape down the bowl & add the eggs mix for 10 secs speed 5, add remaining cupcake ingredients & mix for 5 secs speed 4, scrape down the bowl & mix again for another 5 secs speed 4. Divide mixture into 12 cupcake cases & bake for 20 mins or until cooked.


    Allow to cool & scoop 2 cm deep holes into each cupcake & fill with the lemon curd, then pipe your merigue ontop & place in the oven for a further 5 mins until slightly brown on top.

  2. Lemon curd
  3. Chop sugar & lemon zest for 10 secs speed 10 & insert butterfly, place all other ingredients into the TM bowl & cook for 8 mins, 80 degrees speed 3. If it isn't setiing cook for a further 2 - 3 mins. (You may want to strain off the zest depending on how you like it.)

  4. Meringue
  5. Make sure you bowl & butterfly are completely clean & dry to ensure success with your meringue. Try Dani Valent's vinegar clean by putting water & a splash of vinegar into the TM bowl & cook for 5mins Varoma speed 4. Then completely dry the bowl.


    Mill sugar for 20 secs speed 10, place to one side & add your egg whites, mix for about 2mins, 37 degrees, speed 4, until you have stiff peaks. Set timer for about 5 - 8 mins & very slowly add in the sugar 1 spoon at a time as the butterfly mixes on speed 4, keeping the MC off. Don't try to rush it. When you have added all the sugar & finished mixing, touch a bit of the meringue, you shouldn't feel any gritty bits of sugar grains.

    These are delicious! A little fiddly, but oh so worth it.

    I did whip/mix the egg whites and sugar for the recommended time, however I probably should have done it for a bit longer as when putting the egg white mix on the top of the cupcakes, it wasn’t as stiff as I’d have liked. Not quite sure what I did wrong with the egg white mix...still tasted delicious!

    will make again for sure!!

    have come back to add: I’ve made these 3 times now. First 2 times, I used the meringue recipe that the original publisher wrote. Both times, it didn’t form into a proper meringue, no stiff peaks.
    Third time, I used the meringue recipe from the lemon meringue pie recipe in the BCB. Much better! I believe the original published has missed adding an ingredient to the meringue....I’m no expert, however my meringue worked better when I added a quarter of a teaspoon of cream of tartar.

    i love these cupcakes, and enjoy making them. I’ll be using the BCB meringue recipe for the top from now on.

    OMG AMAZING!!

    Made these for tennis supper yesterday & bought the rest to work today - Colleagues loved them!! Didn't bother making sure the jug was super clean so just placed the egg whites in a bowl  and used electric beaters to whip until soft peaks formed and then slowly added 3/4 cup castor sugar. Cooked the lemon curd for an extra minute and half and that was thick enough to use tmrc_emoticons.) super recipe!

    Made these Yesterday/today for RSPCA day!   (mental note to self, read the instructions for the topping correctly - didn't set the sugar aside and add a little at a time - just threw the egg whites in and it still worked perfectly)

    These were a hit for my Mother's day morning tea... My Mum loves lemon meringue pie and my MIL loves cupcakes...so a win-win with this recipe, many thanks! The only difficulty I had was with my meringue....I added a 1/4 tspn of cream of tartar on the second attempt and it turned out beautifully..

  • I made this today, but made

    Submitted by n-bellish on 6. April 2015 - 19:02.

    I made this today, but made it into a large cake. I doubled everything except for the meringue. I had to bake it for just over and hour and then cut it in half, put the curd in the middle and covered the entire cake in the meringue before putting it back into the overn for approximately 15 minutes at 180c.  

    Thank you for the recipe it's amazing!

  • Delicious Made the curd first

    Submitted by Kimsuz on 21. November 2014 - 00:58.

    Delicious

    Made the curd first and placed in the fridge for a few hours.  Also cooked the cakes and left for a few hours until  I was ready to put meringue on.   Couldn't be bothered with making sure the jug was super clean so just placed the egg whites in a bowl  and used electric beaters to whip until soft peaks formed and then slowly added 3/4 cup castor sugar.  Spooned onto the cakes and then placed into oven for about 7 mins.  Delicious.

  • Be rally careful when

    Be rally careful when separating eggwhites if they get just a little bit of oil from your skin it can effect how they whip up!

    Submitted by jaybel87 on 18. May 2014 - 17:09.

    These were delicious however my meringue lost the plot about half way into adding the sugar. It was nice and fluffy theN turned into a paint looking substance.

    Submitted by ArwensThermoPics on 11. May 2014 - 18:27.

    So sorry to hear that.

    Were your eggs at room temperature? Or they may have been slightly larger than the ones I use? Also when whipping egg whites the the TM bowl etc has to be completely clean & free of any oil. Have you been successful with the lemon curd from the everyday cookbok? 

    Thanks Arwen
