145g castor sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

Lemon glaze:

40g icing sugar, sifted

1 tbsp lemon juice

12 large paper cups

Method:

1. Line muffin pan with paper cups.

2. Sift cake flour, baking soda and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Set aside.

3. Cream butter and cream cheese until light and creamy for 8-10 minutes. Add castor sugar and continue to mix until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in lemon rind and lemon juice.

5. Finally, fold in sifted flour in (1).

6. Divide batter evenly into paper cups. Bake in preheated oven at 200 degC for 40 minutes (Note 1).

7. Remove the pan from the oven. Rest for 10 minutes before removing the cupcakes from the pan (Note 2). Cool on wire rack. (Note 3)

8. Meanwhile, prepare lemon glaze. Heat lemon juice in microwave on high for 15 seconds. Pour into sifted icing sugar and whisk till smooth. Fill lemon glaze into a piping bag and use a writing nozzle to pipe the glaze onto cupcakes. Decorate with lemon zest and other decoration of your choice. Chill before serving.

Notes:

1. I was using gas oven which required 40 minutes baking time at 200 degC. For conventional or convection oven, please reduce temperature by 20-25 degC and baking time should be adjusted to 20-30 minutes in total.

2. The cakes are too soft to be moved yet.

3. The cheese cupcakes are expected to shrink a little after cooling.
