I've never had a LEMON CUPCAKE as fluffy, moist and ZESTY as this one! Easy recipe

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/soft-lem...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
If you’re looking for an easy lemon cupcake recipe that is super soft, moist, and bursting with lemon flavour, then this recipe is it! Fluffy cupcakes are filled with a half batch of my super easy eggless lemon curd recipe, and topped with a small batch of my all time favourite cream cheese frosting that has a slight kick of lemon too! The cupcakes are great on their own as well, so you can skip the lemon curd and frosting if you prefer (though I highly recommend them!).
INGREDIENTS:
Lemon Cupcakes
▢1¼ cups (150 g) flour - regular, all purpose (see note 1 on blog post if you want to use cake flour)
▢1½ tbsp (11 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour in some countries
▢¼ tsp baking soda
▢½ tsp baking powder
▢¼ tsp salt
▢3 tbsp (43 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢⅓ cup (70 g) unflavored vegetable oil - I use canola oil
▢1 cup (200 g) white granulated sugar
▢1 tbsp lemon zest - about 1 medium sized lemon
▢2 large eggs - room temperature
▢⅓ cup (90 g) Greek yoghurt - room temperature
▢2½ tbsp (35 g) lemon juice - freshly squeezed
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you don't have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).
Eggless Lemon Curd
▢½ tbsp lemon zest - about 1/2 a medium sized lemon
▢⅓ cup (80 g) lemon juice - freshly squeezed, about 2 and 1/2 lemons
▢⅓ cup (66 g) white granulated sugar
▢1½ tbsp (10 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour in some countries
▢⅓ cup (80 g) milk - full fat
▢¼ tsp vanilla essence/extract
▢¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter - cold
▢1 small drop of yellow gel food colour or pinch of turmeric - OPTIONAL
Cream Cheese Buttercream
▢½ cup (112 g) unsalted butter - room temp
▢2¼ cups (285 g) icing sugar - also known as powdered/confectioners sugar
▢¾ cup (168 g) cream cheese - cold, firm type (see note 2)
▢¾ tsp vanilla essence/extract
▢¾ tbsp lemon juice - freshly squeezed

I made the cupcakes!! They were soooo moist, and they stayed moist for quite a while. I accidently left them out for over 2 days, and they still tasted fresh as ever. 9/10 would recommend.

[@allovesscrapping]

These looks beautiful. Can you taste the oil in them?

[@CakesbyMK]

Nope! :)

[@lilcummy]

why is my cupcake really dense and not light and fluffy?

[@aisyahrocks]

Just wnna let u know that I made them and it was a successful! And soo soo delicious! Great recipe and this earned my trust! I must say, Somehow my creamed butter texture for the cake didn't turn out like yours (mine was rather slurry kind of butter) but it baked beautifully and turned out same like video. Soft and fluffy! The lemon curd was the highlight and worth the extra step!! However, the cream cheese icing is a lil' too sweet for my liking so if anyone's reading this doesn't like too much sweet, reduce the sugar in icing 😊

[@marysetati9473]

Woooow looks yummy wil give it a try, can i replace Greek Yoghurt with plain yoghurt??

[@CakesbyMK]

Thank you! And yes that should be fine :)

[@tanmayjampala9178]

Hi MK- I made your lemon loaf and it was exceptional. My brother is pestering me for these cupcakes but doesn’t want the lemon curd inside…..Would these still turn out ok without the curd? Thank you so much for your brilliance!
