Lemon Sour Cream Cakes

I bought some creme fraiche on the weekend for the

surprise birthday cake

, but I didn't use it.

My boss

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!

Gluten Free Scallywag Simple Sour Cream Lemon Cakes

150g castor sugar

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...
