(I tried this awhile back, it's devine)
Cupcakes:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened ( I use Margerine)
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
For the drizzle:
1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp poppy seeds
Preheat oven to 175C and place 18 casings in muffin trays.
Combine butter, sugar, flour, and eggs in a mixing bowl and beat with electric whisk until smooth, about 2-3 mins. (You'll noticed that majority of the recipes have the same ingredients and steps up till here.
