I've never had a LEMON CUPCAKE as fluffy, moist and ZESTY as this one! Easy recipe

RECIPE: https://cakesbymk.com/recipe/soft-lem... SHOP: https://www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk If you’re looking for an easy lemon cupcake recipe that is super soft, moist, and bursting with lemon flavour, then this recipe is it! Fluffy cupcakes are filled with a half batch of my super easy eggless lemon curd recipe, and topped with a small batch of my all time favourite cream cheese frosting that has a slight kick of lemon too! The cupcakes are great on their own as well, so you can skip the lemon curd and frosting if you prefer (though I highly recommend them!).
