Homemade by Holman’s triple lemon cupcakes were my first foray into the world of filled cupcakes.
They were a great success. I followed the recipe, with the exception of making Ina’s lemon curd, because I already know it’s a winner. I made a full batch, so I could fill the cupcakes until they practically oozed the rich, tart filling.
I made the lemon curd in advance because making cupcakes, curd and frosting in one day was a little much. Taking that one step made a big difference, and putting these babies together was a breeze.
Added bonus?
Not only did I get 12 cupcakes out of the deal, I got 10 minis as well. But no, I did not fill them.
These don’t have the pucker as most of the lemon recipes I make. But when there’s lemon in three forms, the subtlety works. They are super classy; perfect for brunches, bridal showers and more.
Cupcakes have once again become appealing to me again. Looks very good!
