So recently I've really been loving baking lemon muffins, each week perfecting the recipe! However this week I feel I knocked the hammer on the nail - cheesiest line ever. But in all honesty, all my friends have approved of them too! So, first of all, you'll need:
♡ 250g margarine
♡ 250g caster sugar
♡ 3 medium eggs
♡ 200g self-raising flour
♡ 4 tbsp milk
♡ 2 lemons
♡ Heat the oven to 180 degrees.
♡ Fill a muffin tray with muffin cases (est. 15 cakes)
♡ Add the sugar and margarine into a bowl and mix together.
♡ Add the flour, eggs, milk and zest of two lemons with a squeeze of lemon juice.
♡ Mix everything until you have a smooth mixture.
♡ Next I measured 55g of the mixture into each muffin case - but if you don't want to be as specific as me then just evenly spread the mixture into the cases.
♡ Bake the cupcakes for 15-20 minutes, until they've risen and springy.
♡ While the cakes are in the oven start to prepare your frosting, you'll need:
♡ 175g margarine
♡ 350g icing sugar
♡ squeeze of a lemon
♡ Combine all three of your ingredients using a wooden spoon, being careful to not spill the mixture over the bowl onto the worktop - which I often do.
♡ Once the mixture is smooth you can spoon it into a piping back, I like to put my piping bag into a glass! Probably one of the best baking tips I've learnt this year. So much easier than attempting to hold it!
♡ Then decorate your cakes as desired, I added some hearts and pink sugar crystals for the valentines occasion!
♡ THEN STUFF YOUR FACE & ENJOY! ♡
