Lemon Sour Cream Cakes
I bought some creme fraiche on the weekend for the
, but I didn't use it.
also bought in a huge bag of lemons so I decided to put (one of) them to good use with the creme fraiche, the end result was delicious. A light and fluffy cupcake with a hint of lemon and all made in one step - so simple! so scrummy!

150g Gluten Free Self Raising flour
60g almond meal
50g butter, softened
1/2 cup light sour cream or creme fraiche
rind of 1 large lemon, finely grated
2 eggs
Beat all ingredients on low until combined. Beat for a further 2minutes on high, scrape the sides down once or twice to ensure no flour pockets.
Put patty pans into a 12hole muffin tin and spoon batter into cases. Bake at 180deg for 15minutes.
I made 24 mini cupcakes which took 10minutes and 6 normal sized cupcakes.
Top with Simple Icing. I made mine yellow to complete the lemon theme.
There were 24 minature cupcakes in a tin at work yesterday, today here are none. There are also trails of bright yellow icing 'crumbs' leading to various desks...
