Lemon and Raspberry Cupcakes

Summertime Treats

 
Hi again everyone! So I made these cupcakes only a couple of months ago and they are really good as a summertime treat. I used a recipe from the book "Boutique Baking" by Peggy Porschen, which my brother bought me for my birthday in May.

The main cake is a lemon sponge recipe, but with a few raspberries thrown in. Once you've baked them, you cover them in a lovely lemon syrup (just lemon and caster sugar which has been heated up to dissolve the sugar). This makes them so moist (I'm making my own mouth drool!).
The cupcakes were then topped with a cream cheese and lemon frosting (hence why its a bit runny) and a juicy raspberry. 


I love how these turned out! They look gorgeous and they taste even better! They are a good contrast of sharp and sweet. Perfect with a good cocktail.

By the way...if anyone would like any of these recipes, just contact me and I'll be happy to supply them! 

Thanks for reading!
