Vanilla cupcakes filled with a tangy lemon curd, perfect for spring!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the cupcakes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1\/2 cup\u00c2\u00a0butter<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 2 eggs<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 1\/2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 1\/2 cups all-purpose\u00c2\u00a0flour<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 3\/4 teaspoons baking powder<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1\/2 cup milk<\/p>\n

1. Preheat oven to 350\u00c2\u00ba degrees. Line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.<\/p>\n

2. Cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.<\/p>\n

3. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well, stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the cupcake liners.<\/p>\n

4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Test with a toothpick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the lemon curd:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 6 egg yolks<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1\/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1\/2 cup lemon juice<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 1\/4 teaspoons grated lemon rind<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1\/4 cup of butter, cut into pieces<\/p>\n

1. Combine all of the ingredients into a small saucepan over medium heat, cook until the butter melts and the mixture is hot<\/p>\n

2. Lower the heat, whisking constantly allowing it to thicken. Do not let it boil! Cook until it has the consistency of custard.<\/p>\n

3. Remove from heat, strain into a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the frosting:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 – 8 ounce bar of cream cheese<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1\/2 cup of butter, softened<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 3 cups confectionary sugar<\/p>\n

1. Mix cream cheese and butter until smooth.<\/p>\n

2. Add vanilla extract and confectionary sugar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Assembly:<\/p>\n

When the cupcakes are cool, fill a pastry bag with the lemon curd – for this I used an Ateco round standard piping tip #10. Insert the tip about 1\/2″ into the top of the cupcake, and give the bag a good squeeze! When you’ve filled all the cupcakes, fill a second pastry bag with the cream cheese frosting. I used an Ateco #848 closed star decorating tip, because it’s the only large tip I have that hasn’t fallen victim to my garbage disposal. Frost. You now have 12 lemony good cupcakes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
