Instructions
- Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4/180°C/160°C fan.

Mix the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Cream together the butter, sugar, cordial and lemon zest until light and fluffy, then gradually add in the eggs until incorporated.
-
Gently mix in the flour and baking powder until just lightly mixed. Spoon the mixture into your cupcake cases.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and then allow to cool on a wire rack.

Use a cupcake corer or a knife to make a hole in the middle of each cupcake.

Fill the holes with lemon curd. You can do this using a spoon or put the lemon curd into a small piping bag, snip the end off and pipe it in.

Make the buttercream by beating the icing sugar, butter, and cordial together until very pale, fluffy and creamy.

Put the buttercream into a large piping bag fitted with a nozzle of your choice and pipe it onto the cupcakes.
