Rec: Lemon cupcakes with curd inside? Yes please!

Maria, just a reminder of this wonderful concoction. I see it posted all over now as this newly-created, exquisite dessert that we made waaay back in Grade 8 (also known as Eighth Grade). It is also being made in various shapes of vesselsnow.



Here it is. Make it. Love it. Won't tell you what year I first made it, nor the century.

Omg, this sounds delicious and I’m alway wanting ideas to use up my lemons. I’m trying this as soon as my infected tooth, ugh, is dealt with.
 
Just a head's up. Per the image in the link, I DO NOT remember the filling being that precise. For us 8th graders, it was more like the top was firm and bottom was wet/pudding-ish. As opposed to the cupcakes in the link, which look like they were filled with firm lemon curd.

This is much closer to the way our version turned out:
