Lemon Filled Cupcakes

I went to Trader Joe’s a while back and I got a bottle of lemon curd and I could not wait to make something with it…and this is what I came up with!

These are so yummy and refreshing with the lemon filling!  The cake is a moist heavy batter, just the way I love it! 

 

To make these cupcakes, I had a couple of new tools that I wanted to try out and to show you!  I ordered a food scoop here.  It is wonderful because then all of the cupcakes are the same size!  Which is great for looks, but they all bake the same too!  I ordered the yellow food scoop.  They come in many different sizes, but this one was perfect for the cupcakes.

To make the holes in the cupcakes, you can use a knife and just cut out a core in the center of your cupcake or you can use one of these things!

It is a cupcake corer that I got at Williams-Sonoma last spring .  You just push it down in the cupcake and twist…

Then you simply push the “plug” out and do the next cupcake!  It was so easy!

This was the inspiration for these cupcakes.  I don’t think that I have ever purchased anything at Trader Joe’s that I have not liked!  This did not disappoint either!  It is tart and creamy and YUMMY!  Perfect for the basis of these cupcakes. 

So do you need some of these in your life?  They are sure to make you smile!

Go make some of these and make everyone around you happy!

Hope you have a great weekend everyone!  Love Ya!
