Cottage Cheese Cupcakes with Lemon
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. I suggest making curd cupcakes with lemon and delighting your loved ones with this wonderful homemade pastry. Chocolate can be substituted, if desired, with ready‑made chocolate chips or chocolate shavings. You can also add candied fruit, nuts, or raisins to the batter. All of this will only enrich the flavor of these already delicious cupcakes. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
