How To Make lemon cream cupcakes

  • 1
    Prepare the angel food cake as directed by box. Pur 1/4 cup batter into each cupcake liner. (foil lined works best) There will be left over batter. Bake a small cake, more cupcakes, etc. I just have 2 cupcake tins and that is all I can bake at one time.
  • 2
    Bake as directed and remove from oven. Let cool completely in the pan.

    Using a bismarck tip, or large round icing tip, fill each cupcake with lemon pie filling. It does not take much, make a 5 second squeeze. You will now it is enough when a little shows around the icing tip.

    In a large bowl, beat heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, 3-5 minutes based on mixer strength. Sift powdered sugar over the top and drizzle with the vanilla paste. Beat in the sugar and vanilla for another 2-3 minutes, until it is firm but not hard like butter.
