Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180ºc/160ºcfan and prep 12 cupcakes cases
Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and mix to combine
Add the eggs, flour and lemon zest and mix again
Pour the raspberries into the mix if you're using them and gently mix them through.
Spoon your cupcake mix into your cases and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Beat the room temperature butter until smooth
Add the icing sugar and mix again until combined
Split the frosting between two bowls. Add the lemon to one, and beat. Add the raspberry jam, and a little pink food colouring to the other and beat.
Once both buttercreams are combined, line the two frostings next to each other on a large piece of clingfilm.
Roll this up into a sausage, snip off the end, and to a piping bag with your favourite piping tip.
Hollow out some of the cupcake, and then spoon in a little raspberry jam.
Pipe the frosting on top however you like and decorate with freeze dried raspberries, lemon zest and fresh raspberries
