I've adapted this recipe from Lemon Yoghurt mufins in Home Bake by Eric Lanlard
Recipe type: Baking
Serves: 10
What you'll need
150g unsalted butter, room temperature
zest of ½ lemon
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
200g natural yoghurt
juice of 1 lemon
200g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1 tsp poppyseeds (optional)
a few Tbsp lemon curd
Instructions
If you have a Thermomix then place strips of lemon zest in TM bowl with sugar. Process for 10 seconds on speed 9. Add in cubed butter and cream for 1 minute on speed 4.
Add in eggs one at a time while machine is running at speed 4. Process 30 seconds.
Add in yoghurt and juice and combine 10 seconds speed 4.
Add in sifted flour, baking powder and poppyseeds and process on speed 2 for 30 seconds
**Half fill a muffin tray or cupcake liner with batter (about a Tablespoon full) and place a tsp of lemon curd in the centre. Top with another Tbsp of batter and repeat with entire mixture. You'll get about 10-12 little cakes
Bake in a preheated oven of 180C/350F for at least 25 minutes. You want a nice golden colour to the little cake.
If you don't have a Thermomix then cream your butter, sugar and lemon zest. Add in eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Add in yoghurt and lemon juice and mix well. Sift in flour and baking powder and poppyseeds if you are using them. Follow from **.
