Lemon Buttermilk Cupcakes

A little while ago, on a whim, I invited a dear friend and her two lovely girls for afternoon tea. Once I had done that, I then needed to rustle up something for said afternoon tea, preferably without leaving the house.

It turns out I had all the ingredients for the delicious-sounding lemon buttermilk cupcake. They were super easy, and really nice and sticky.


I paired with a really simple lemony cream cheese icing, but I think they might be just as delicious with a bit of lemon syrup poured on when they're still hot.

They must have been reasonably good, since the kids (even my two little ones) ate the whole cake, not just the icing!

Would I make them again? Yes, they're a perfect afternoon tea-style cake, and give the impression of being far more complicated than they really were.

Credit where credit's due: actually, of the top of my head, I'm not sure, but I'll dig it out and edit the post when I'm not multitasking by blogging and preventing a 8 month old child from falling off the couch.

Also, I've got about 4 more cupcake blogs to write (the cakes themselves are long gone), so I apologies if you feel like your getting blog spammed by me. On the other hand, it could take me just as long to get to those posts as it did to get to this one...
