Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (160g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup (150g) unsalted butter
  • 1 lemon, untreated (preferably organic)
  • 1/3 cup (50g) fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lemon curd (click here for the recipe), then allow to cool in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bow, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add in the flour with the baking powder.
  3. Melt the salted butter in a saucepan or in the microwave. In the meantime, gratte the skin of the fresh lemon and juice it. Stir in the butter, zest and lemon juice into the batter.
  4. Grease a cupcake tin, then fill one third of each cell with the batter. Add a little raspberry in the middle, then pour the remaining batter, so that hardly two thirds of each cell is covered (not more). Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Let the cupcake cool down before adding the lemon curd of top of them, then decorate with a little raspberry.
