An Easy Easter Lemon Cupcake Recipe

Easter Lemon Cupcake Recipe


This little lemon cupcake recipe is so easy to make and is perfect all year round. To transform them into ‘Easter’ cupcakes just do what I do and add some Easter pizzazz with some little yellow chicks (non edible), chocolate sprinkles or shavings (edible), and mini chocolate Easter eggs (very edible), and if you’re over 18, a glass of bubbles always goes down a treat with one (or two … it is Easter after all).

The recipe was taken from a book I borrowed from my sister aptly titled ‘Cupcakes’ from a ‘Love Food’ collection and was written by Susanna Tee.

I’ve made these cupcakes numerous times for special occasions and ‘just because’, and they’ve always gone ‘down a treat’. I’ve used different iced toppings, from chocolate to vanilla, (I’ve also cheated and bought the icing premade … shhh) but this simple lemon one is light and sweet.
