Method

  1. Grease the moulds of a muffin tin with butter and dust with flour.

  2. Add the butter, sugar and lemon zest to a bowl and beat until light. Add the eggs and ground almonds in three batches until combined.

  3. Next add the flour, baking powder and salt. Then add the lemon juice from the lemon used earlier.

  4. Spoon the mixture into the moulds and then divide the blueberries between the cakes, making sure to push them down slightly so that they sink into the cake mix. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before gently tapping the cakes out onto a cooling rack so that they are sitting upside down.

  5. To make the icing, combine the icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and stir until it has a thick pouring consistency then spoon over the cakes.
