Lemon Drizzle Cupcakes

Hello everyone! I hope you are all okay - what have you all been up to? I am very busy with teaching but am enjoying it. Today's recipe is for Lemon Drizzle cupcakes. The recipe is taken from Mary Berry but then I decided to split the mixture into cupcakes rather than do a traybake.

To make you will need:

• 225g (8 oz) butter 
• 225g (8 oz) caster sugar
• 275g (10 oz) self-raising flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 eggs
• 4 tablespoons milk
• Finely grated rind of 2 lemons

For the topping

• 175g (6 oz) granulated sugar
• Juice of 2 lemons

1. Simply blend the main ingredients in a bowl and place a spoonful in cupcake cases - I made 22 cupcakes.
2. Bake at 180c for around 10-15 minutes until starting to go golden brown.
3. Allow to cool for a few minutes. 
4. Mix the granulated sugar and lemon juice together until it makes a paste. Drizzle over the top of your cupcakes.
