I have been enjoying a big jar of home made lemon curd recently slathered over anything I could eat, so decided to add it to my favourite almond flour cupcake recipe. I made them into butterfly cakes as the "wings" seemed to fit just right over the lemon curd filling and more importantly, I thought that they looked cute! To me, butterfly cakes were something that takes me back to my childhood as we used to bake this on a Sunday afternoon. This is a lovely fresh cupcake that is full of the zing of spring!
One thing that I am learning about not making "traditional" cake batters, is that the healthy alternative is just so much easier! Not of that beating and creaming...just mix, cook and eat! You still get a lovely fluffy moist cake too! Who needs that nasty flour...bah!
Keto Lemon Curd Butterfly Cupcake
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 4 medium eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup lemon curd low carb (recipe in above link)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
- Mix the almond flour, baking powder and salt together.
- In another bowl mix the butter, water, eggs, erythritol and vanilla essence.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and stir well.
- Pour the mixture into a muffin tin lined with cupcake cases.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until firm.
- Allow to cool, then with a small knife, cut out circles from the cupcakes. Turn the circles on their sides and trim down slightly, (so that they will fit better on the cupcake). Cut in half.
- Fill the holes in the cupcakes with the lemon curd.
- Place the two cut circle halves on top of the cupcake, with the longside next to each other...making the "butterfly" wings.

OH YEAH~ I Do Have A Question, Please~ What, Exactly, Is VANILLA ESSENCE? Not the same as Vanilla EXTRACT, I'm guessing.
Thank You kindly, My Dear!
It's much the same thing.
I'm So Glad That Someone, Besides ME, Finds Me Amusing~ Thanks! ? And Have A Most Lovely Day!
Oh my gosh~ I'm back AGAIN! It's 4:10 in THE MORNING and I CANNOT STOP Looking Through YOUR Recipes! Not that I'm going to make The Lemon Curd (of which I Have A Bag Of ORGANIC LEMONS IN MY FRIDGE WAITING/WANTING TO BE SQUEEZED!) But in anticipation of making this, Could You Please Update The Link TO Said Lemon Curd... at Your Earliest Convenience?
Thank You Sooo Much!
Purrs, ?
Good Lord~ I PROMISE That After This, I WILL PUT DOWN THE TABLET & STOP BOTHERING YOU... FOR THE NIGHT, ANYWAY! ? AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME, but I just saw another link for The Lemon Curd!
I know that all of Those Wonderful Ads On Your Site Are Very Important For YOU... $$$ or £££ OR... but for me they are popping up all over the page and due to the fact that I'm easily distracted, I completely missed seeing The Title Line!
SHORT STORY LONG~ That's MY Style~ PLEASE DISREGARD (OR DELETE!) MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ATTACHED TO THIS REPLY! SERIOUSLY, I NEED TO EAT SOMETHING (OMG~ LIKE THAT BROCCOLI & BLUE CHEESE STROMBOLI~[SP?]!!)!
Thanks & Good Night... Morning?!

I'll put it on the list to do! When life give you lemons, make lemon curd!
When you say half a cup of butter melted. Do you mean solid butter half a cup then melt or half a cup of melted butter. I'm hoping the latter
I cut up solid butter in a half cup and melt it but measure the melted butter back in the half cup to make sure the measurement is correct. Sometimes I can be too zealous with my packing of the solid butter into the measuring cup.
Made lemon curd and butterfly cakes today. Absolutely delish and such a treat for me to have lemon curd as a diabetic.
Glad you enjoyed it Libby!
I adore lemon curd. These would be such a nice weekend treat.
