LEMON YOGURT CUPCAKES 36134

My first attempt of these cupcakes was more than a year ago.

I like to use Greek yogurt in my baking and I prefer this type of thick, creamy yogurt than the normal plain ones. I first fell in love with the Greek yogurt when I visited Greece many years ago. It can be used to replace the heavy whipping cream which is often used in making non-bake cheesecake for a healthier choice and reduce calories.


My friend, Jacqueline shared this lemon yogurt cupcakes recipe with me a year ago and it has since been one of my favourite cupcakes which I make often. I have replaced the original plain flour with Organic unbleached flour and replaced the caster sugar with Organic raw sugar.
