I've been experimenting! No, not the Dr Frankenstein type of experimenting - well not unless he moved on from creating human life from a jigsaw of deceased spare parts to baking! I've been trying to combine all the lovely, lemony-ness of a drizzle cake with a cupcake. I was aiming for lemon sherbet style intensity with the lovely moistness you get from a drizzle cake. The above is my first attempt.
The result? I'm still working on it but when I get a recipe that works you'll be the first to hear about it. This was a nice cupcake and very popular with Project A (although cat botherer just wanted to lick the icing off) but didn't really have the lemon hit I was aiming for. Think I was a bit shy of putting too much lemon in. I had a bad experience once with a lemon pasta dish - like eating rubber bands dressed in washing up liquid! For my next experiment I'm going to up the lemon stakes and add lemon juice to the sponge mix.
