How to Make

  • TO MAKE THE LEMON CREAM

  • Step 1: Cut the butter into cubes and keep them cold. Put all the ingredients EXCEPT the butter into a double boiler and heat, stirring constantly. When the mixture begins to thicken, remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and thoroughly combined. Set aside.

  • TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES

  • Step 2: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

  • Step 3: Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until fluffy. Keep beating while you add the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the sour cream with a rubber spatula.

  • Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold in. Finally, fold in the dried rosemary - crushing it between your fingers before adding.

  • Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners - about 2/3 full. Bake on a wire rack until done, about 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

  • Step 6: Use a cupcake corer to remove the core of the cupcake. Place a daisy stencil on the cupcake. Using a tea strainer, sprinkle icing sugar to make the daisy design. Using a piping bag, fill the hole with the lemon cream so it makes a raised dot in the center of the daisy.
