• Step 1

  Pop you oven on to 170C.

  Zest your lemon and put the zest to one side for later.

• Step 2

  Cut your lemon in half and put one half away for later. Now add the juice from half of the lemon to your mixing bowl.

• Step 3

  Add the 6oz of Sugar and both eggs to the lemon juice and whisk until smooth.

• Step 4

  Add the 6oz of flour and tbsp of baking powder and whisk until you can see some air bubbles in the mixture.

• Step 5

  Pop your mixture into cupcake cases and bake for 10 Mins turn and bake for a further 10 mins.

• Step 6

  While your cakes are cooking you should make the lemon curd. I used a Greens Lemon Pie Filling Sachet but you could just use a regular jar or lemon curd, or maybe even make your own. :]

• Step 7

  When your case are ready transfer them to a wire tray and wait until they are completely cooled.

  Step 8

  Im sure everyone has made butterfly cake before and know what to do but what the hey, i will show you anyway.

  First take a cupcake and with a serrated knife cut a circle out like so.

• 

  Step 9

  Fill the hole in the cupcake with lemon curd.

  Cut the left over bit of cupcake in half.

• 

  Step 10

  Pop the two bits of cupcake into the lemon curd like so and you should have something like a butterfly.

• Step 11

  Put 3oz of icing sugar in a bowl and add the lemon zest from earlier and the juice from the other half of your lemon. Mix it all together and drizzle all over your beautiful cakes. :D
