Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale.
  • Beat in the eggs a little at a time and stir in the lemon zest.
  • Fold in the flour using a large metal spoon until dropping consistency.
  • Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are half full.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
  • Once completely cooled, cut a round hole in the top of each cupcake and fill with jam.
  • With the circular piece of cake, cut in half to form 2 wings, place in the jam upright.
  • Dust with icing sugar.
