The pass two month I was so crazy making lemon curd after falling in love with some tangy and refreshing cakes. After making the lemon curd sponge cake, I was continue making another lemon curd Swiss roll then coming up with lemon curd chiffon cake and then lemon curd hokkaido cupcakes. What 's next? I think I should give it a break, so I come here to jot down my works., lemon curd hokkaido cupcakes.  Nothing complicated as I just using the same hokkaido cupcakes recipe as I normally stick on and the same lemon curd recipe I used in the previous Lemon Gateau. The hokkaido cupcakes is filled with lemon curd and whipped cream that make the cakes really refreshing.

Shift in the plain flour and mix until no any lumps left.In another clean bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy then add the caster sugar in three batches and keep whisking until nearly to a stiff peak foam. 
Fold in the egg white mixture to the egg yolk mixture in three batches until well mix.Divide the mixture into each hokkaido cups about 80 to 90 percent full and bake in 100C preheated oven. Bake at 100C for 10 minutes follow by 120C for 20 minutes then 140C for 15 minutes and lastly 150C for 10 minutes. Bring out the cupcakes from the oven to cool down while preparing the cream.
