- Ingredients:
- 125g salted butter
- 155g caster sugar
- 2 tsp lime zest
- 1 jar Zesty Lime Curd
- 2 eggs
- 150g self-raising flour

- 125ml milk
- 600ml double Cream
- 1 lime cut into segments (garnish)
Cooking Method
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 then line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper cases.
Use electric beaters to beat the butter, sugar and lime zest in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and milk until combined. Divide mixture into paper cases. Bake for 20 minutes.
Once cooked, cut a deep hole in the centre of each cupcake and spoon 1 tablespoon of lime curd into the hole.
For the fresh cream topping, whisk the cream until soft peaks and spoon into a piping bag with star nozzle.
Finally, pipe the cream onto each cupcake and garnish with lime segment.
