Lemon and poppy seeds are a well-known combination, and these cupcakes add a zesty flair to any tea table or picnic basket. The fresh thyme gives a lovely botanical flavour to the cupcakes, making them a little more sophisticated. The ratio of lemon juice to icing sugar adds just enough acidity to the recipe to balance out the sweetness and rounds the cakes off beautifully.
In my house, lemon curd is an absolute favourite treat. There are so many ways we enjoy it – on a freshly baked scone, with fruit and berries as dessert or like in this recipe, on warm pancakes.
Before you think there is a mistake in this recipe, the combination of olive oil, lemon, almonds, polenta and fresh thyme is indeed correct and absolutely delicious. The light, fluffy texture will definitely impress your guests!
Aarbeie, appelliefies, bloubessies en frambose… die mooi kleure is al genoeg om ’n feestelike atmosfeer te skep. Laat dit jou dié somer inspireer om kreatief te wees met hierdie gesonde vruggies.
