Cupcake Sunday – Lemon and Ginger Cupcakes….

We’re loving Sunday’s since we started Cupcake Sundays, although I can’t say that they’re doing my diet much good

Today’s cupcakes of the day are Lemon and Ginger Cupcakes and they’re quite possibly my favourite ones so far!  They were inspired by a lovely lemon and ginger tea from Teapigs that I’ve been drinking this week.

150g butter
150g sugar
150g self raising flour
3 eggs
2 lemons
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
Icing sugar
150g cream cheese

To make 15 cupcakes:

• Cream the sugar with the butter.
• Add the eggs and beat the mix together.
• Add the juice and zest of one lemon along with a teaspoon and a half of ground ginger.  You can add less ginger if you aren’t as keen.
• Fold in the flour and mix until everything is combined.
• Spoon into your cupcake cases and bake at about 180 c for around 15 – 20 minutes.
