Took lots and lots of photos, but forgot to take some with the suprise filling. Oh well, next time!
Love anything with lemon - even better with some strawberry jam filling!
Lemon Cupcakes with Jam Filling
adapted from mingmakescupcakes.yolasite.com
CUPCAKES
2 cups cake flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter, room temp
4 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk (used low fat milk and lemon)
1/2 cup lemon juice
lemon zest
Mix flour, powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in flour mixture and buttermilk alternately. Mix in lemon juice and zest. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Makes 18 cupcakes.
FILLING AND TOPPING
raspberry jam
whipped cream (didn't use - used my usual buttercream recipe)
berries
After cupcakes have cooled, use a small knife to cut a cone-shaped segment from the top of the cupcake. Trim off the bottom, fill the hole with jam, and cover with remainder. Top with whipped cream and berries.

I am a lemonholic. These sound like they are right up my alley! They look wonderful, too. Your co-workers must swoon when you walk in.
Those look delicious. I don't bake much, because it makes too many dirty dishes. I hate washing dishes, but it might be worth it if this were the result!
Mmmmm... Pinning this for future reference!
You always have something yummy on here. Every one must just love all your treats you bake.

Yum! Love the sound of those, especially with the surprise filling. I love how bright and cheery they are to look at, and I'm sure they taste wonderful, as well!
