Lemon Cupcakes
I love these delicious lemon cupcakes - sweet cupcakes with lemon pudding in the center. My mother used to make them when I was young and I couldn't wait to lick the lemon pudding bowl.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar, or just over
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups flour, or just over
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package lemon pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF degrees. Grease or line the muffin tins.
- Cream the butter or margarine well with an electric mixer. Add the sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the lemon juice and milk.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients one third of the mixture at a time, stirring after each addition.
- Spoon the batter into greased or lined muffin tins. Bake 15-18 minutes.
- While the cupcakes are baking, make the lemon pie filling.
- When the cupcakes are cooled, use a sharp knife to cut a round hole in the top of the cupcake. Fill the hole with the lemon pie filling and place the piece you cut out back on top of the pudding. Alternately, you can leave the tops on and have the lemon pudding top the cupcakes as shown in the image above.
