For the cupcakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced, then line twelve 125ml (1/2 cup) muffin pans with paper cases.

Step 2

Use electric beaters to beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flours and milk, in alternating batches, until just combined. Divide among prepared pans. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

For the lemon curd

Step 1

Meanwhile, for the curd, combine the egg, butter, rind, juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until butter melts. Increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Transfer curd to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in fridge for 1 1⁄2 hours to chill.

For the filling

Step 1

Use a small serrated knife to cut a 4cm-wide, 2-3cm-deep cone from the centre of each cupcake. Spoon lemon curd into holes.

For the meringue

Step 1

Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Continue whisking, gradually adding sugar, 1 tbsp at a time. Continue whisking until sugar dissolves.

Use a piping bag with a 1.5cm plain nozzle to pipe meringue over cupcakes. Use a cook’s blowtorch to lightly toast the meringue.

Key initiatives funded by our Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association. This pilot project engaged women across four communities in Belize, providing them with essential skills in financial literacy, economic opportunities, and hands-on training. 

These women, including Elsa Perez, learned to manage their sugarcane revenues, explore small business entrepreneurship, and diversify their income sources.
