Ingredients

Angel Food Cupcakes

  • 1 box angel food cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cups water

Lemon Curd Filling

  • 1 cup lemon curd

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Cupcake Batter: Combine the angel food cake mix with 1 1/4 cups water, following the package instructions. Mix until smooth, then fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden and spring back when touched.
  3. Fill Cupcakes: Once cooled, carefully core out the center of each cupcake using a small knife or cupcake corer, creating a cavity. Spoon or pipe about one tablespoon of lemon curd into each cupcake cavity to infuse a burst of citrus flavor.
  4. Make Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, resulting in a light, fluffy topping.
  5. Decorate Cupcakes: Using a piping bag or spreader, generously pipe or spread the whipped cream atop each filled cupcake. Garnish each cupcake with fresh raspberries and sprinkle with lemon zest for a vibrant and flavorful finish.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the cupcakes immediately for the best texture and flavor, or refrigerate them until ready to serve, keeping them chilled until presentation.

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the heavy cream and bowl before whipping for best results.
  • Be gentle when coring the cupcakes to avoid breaking their structure.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and appearance.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the angel food cake mix is gluten-free certified.
