This month over at Sweet and Simple Bakes I presented this delicious recipe for Lemon Curd Muffins. These were very easy and quick to make up and I love the tartness of the lemon curd topping with the flavour creeping in once more as you hit the middle of the sponge. A delectable muffin that all you lemon lovers out there would love! I'm looking forward to seeing another great round-up and reading everyone's entries. Please pop over to Sweet and Simple Bakes to view more muffin entries!

Wow, those look amazing!I love the lemon curd surprise!
They looks so pretty with the sparkly sugar on top! I bet the lemon curd gave them a nice moist flavor.

They look beautiful, cute and delicous.
these look so good. I love lemon curd :)
I love the combination and yours is really nice and rounded.
Very tangy and delish!!! I would love to give these a try.
The second baked good I have seen today with a sprinkling of sugar. I just LOVE it:D How special to have a hidden treat within, certainly sets these apart from an everyday cupcake (if there is such a thing;)).
These look so delicious - I can just taste the lemon curd now.
Those look so very, very good and I do like lemon curd. It is inspired, that's what it is!
Looks really lovely :)
Your muffins look fab Maria. I have a quick question - did you use muffin size cases, or cupcake size ones. I'm just wondering as mine haven't risen even to the top of the case, let alone above!!!
I expect you're just a better baker! Ah well, I'll just have to keep trying (and eating my attempts!).
They look lovely, and the tablecloth is really sweet too!
Gosh these look delicious! Inspired me to put a teaspoon of apricot jam in my muffins this morning. Will be baking these shortly! Thank you!
Thanks for yet another lovely recipe, your site is just lovely and inspired me to get my apron on, get baking and start my own blog!
