Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in zest and vanilla. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of buttermilk and lemon juice, and beating until just combined after each.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
- To finish, spread 1 tablespoon lemon curd onto middle of each cupcake. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large open-star tip (Ateco #828 or Wilton #8B) with frosting. Pipe frosting onto each cupcake, swirling tip slightly and releasing as you pull up to form a peak. Hold a small kitchen torch 3 to 4 inches from surface of frosting, and wave it back and forth until frosting is lightly browned all over. Serve immediately.

LEMON MERINGUE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Prepare the lemon cake mix according to the package instructions to make 24 cupcakes. Let cool completely.
- Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out a well from the top center of each cupcake. Trim the bottoms of the scooped pieces of cake to use as plugs.
- Place about 2 teaspoons lemon curd into the well of each cupcake and plug the hole with the reserved trimmed cake pieces.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix the egg whites on medium-high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the sugar and continue to beat until the egg whites are glossy and form stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
- Fit a pastry bag with a medium to large round pastry tip. Fill the pastry bag with the meringue. Pipe the meringue in a circular motion on top of each cupcake. Transfer the cupcakes to a sheet tray. Use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue tops until nicely browned, like a toasted marshmallow.

LEMON MERINGUE CUPCAKES
This recipe starts with a white cake mix and uses meringue powder. The recipe states it makes 20 cupcakes, but I am guesstimating 24. I think I would substitue fresh lemon juice (2-3 tablespoons) for part of the water in the cupcakes for more lemon flavour. From Woman's World magazine. NOTE: Prep time does not include cooling time for the cupcakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF (170ºC).
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and slowly add the sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the sugar mixture. Add salt and mix until just combined.
- Add the vanilla, milk, and lemon juice, and mix until incorporated.
- Scoop mixture into a lined cupcake tin about ¾ full.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly from the center of the cupcakes. Let cupcakes cool.
- Prepare the lemon curd by whisking the yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, add the lemon juice and zest. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Once the curd coats the back of a spoon, add the butter and stir until melted.
- Remove from the heat, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Make sure the cling film touches the surface of the curd so that a film doesn't form on top.
- Prepare the frosting by whisking the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until it thickens and the sugar dissolves completely. Tempering the eggs will ensure the frosting is food safe without being baked.
- Remove from the heat, add the cream of tartar, and beat about 10 minutes until soft peaks form.
- Using a piping tip or a knife, cut a hole into the top of the cupcakes and press down to make a well for the curd.
- Add lemon curd into the cupcakes and frost them with the meringue.
- Torch the frosting or carefully broil for about 3 to 4 minutes. Be sure that you use foil cupcake liners if broiling!
- Enjoy!
