How to make it

  • 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. So you can actually make a few types of cupcakes by using the basic ingredients.)
  • Stir in vanilla essence, poppy seeds and lemon zest until well combined. Spoon batter into cases and bake for about 20 mins. Remove tins from oven and cool for 5 mins before removing the cupcakes and cool on rack.
  • To make the drizzle, mix lemon juice into the icing sugar into the consistency of double cream. Stir in poppy seeds and drizzle over cupcakes.
  • Store in air-tight container for up to 2 days or 3 months in the freezer.
