Lemon Curd Cakes! – Jane’s Patisserie

Simple selfmade lemon curd cakes with a lemon white chocolate muffin batter, filled with lemon curd and crowned with a streusel topping!

Those cakes were asked again and again, and I in truth can not stay alongside of the requests. Those cakes are tremendous zingy, recent and heavenly.

Baking with lemon

So the opposite day I posted my lemon crinkle cookies and also you all liked them. They’re a scrumptious and simple cookie, and I like them. I stated even on that weblog put up that I simply adore baking with lemon, it’s highest for spring baking.

On the subject of lemon it’s one of these flexible aspect and it will probably simply be used over and over again and I don’t become bored. From my no-bake lemon cheesecake, to my lemon blueberry blondies, the entire option to my lemon meringue pie… vintage and scrumptious bakes.

Cakes vs cupcakes

I can say, I have a tendency to swing extra to cupcakes than cakes, however I simply assume thats in line with addiction. I’ve posted never-ending quantities of cupcake recipes, and infrequently any muffin recipes, and I do know I wish to exchange this.

I like cakes, however they’re such a lot more straightforward to get flawed in comparison to cupcakes. A normal cupcake batter is four-five substances, and simple to combine in combination and bake. Cakes? You want extra substances, they usually unquestionably shouldn’t be over combined.

I’m no longer announcing this to scare you off, as those cakes are good, but it surely did take time to make just right cakes. My white chocolate and raspberry cakes are heavenly, at the side of my cheese and bacon cakes, however those unhealthy boys?! I will’t get sufficient.

Muffin batter

The muffin aggregate is SO simple to combine in combination, and also you handiest desire a bowl and a spatula or spoon. It appears like slightly a couple of substances, but it surely’s value it, I promise!

• Butter – I at all times use unsalted butter in baking, and part oil and butter works wonders.
• Oil – I exploit vegetable oil, or sunflower oil in my bakes as they’re tasteless and interchangeable
• Sugar – I exploit mild brown cushy sugar, however golden caster sugar is a good suggestion
• Eggs – you handiest want two medium eggs, however two massive must be high quality
• Flavour – I upload vanilla extract, in addition to lemon zest. You’ll be able to simply use 2tsps lemon extract if you need
• Flour – Simple flour is perfect, after which somewhat baking powder for the very best bake
• Buttermilk – you’ll be able to purchase buttermilk within the store, however you’ll be able to additionally make your individual with entire milk, and 1tsp lemon juice jumbled in, 5 mins ahead of the usage of within the recipe
• Chocolate – I used some white chocolate chips, however a chopped up bar of chocolate works wonders

The lemon curd

The lemon curd is clearly the principle phase right here, because it’s within the name. I attempted alternative ways of doing the lemon curd, however surely discovered piping the lemon curd into the cakes the very best and perfect method.

It’s a combat to freeze dollops of curd because it doesn’t freeze cast, and teaspoons with handiest part the combination in are somewhat bit taffy. Then again, including the entire aggregate between the 12 instances, and the usage of a piping bag and piping the lemon curd into the muffin was once highest.

I snip off the tip of the piping bag, and frivolously push it into the highest of the muffin, and sparsely push some lemon curd into the muffin. You’ll be able to do some bit to start with, and expend extra later, however I used the entire curd indexed between the 12 cakes.

Streusel topping

I sought after to do one thing somewhat other for those cakes in comparison to the opposite ones I’ve accomplished, and upload a delectable topping. Assume disintegrate, assume streusel, assume one thing crunchy… and it was once such a good suggestion.

• Flour – somewhat little bit of simple flour, however in terms of streusel it’s the most efficient.
• Sugar – somewhat brown sugar or caster sugar works completely
• Butter – and in any case somewhat little bit of unsalted butter rubbed in to make a breadcrumb texture.

As soon as the cakes have had the lemon curd inserted in, I sprinkle at the streusel topping and bake the cakes within the oven till golden.
