Here at The Good Oil Daily, we feel balance is important. Eating for pleasure {like lemon cupcakes} is something we enjoy doing. We eat plenty of simple, nutritious food and don’t stress over having a little treat here and there.
And if it’s quick and simple to whip up – all the better. {Like you, we have so many things love doing – and only so many hours in the day.} Today’s recipe ticks those boxes.
Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. Jim Davis
Please use free-range eggs and organic ingredients to add as much goodness as you can. {Australian measures used. You can convert over here. }

LEMON PATTY CAKES {aka LEMON CUPCAKES}
MAKES 12
- 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
- ¾ cup raw caster sugar {experiment with reducing to taste}
- 1 organic lemon, rind finely grated and 2 tablespoons juice
- 125g butter, melted, cooled
- 2 free-range organic eggs
- ½ cup organic milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 drops Young Living lemon essential oil*
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line 12 x 1/3 cup capacity muffin pans with paper cases.
Sift flour into a large bowl.
Add sugar and lemon rind. Stir until combined. Make a well in the centre.
Whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, lemon juice and Young Living lemon essential oil in a large jug. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. To keep them light and fluffy, don’t over-mix.
Spoon mixture evenly among the prepared pans.
Bake 15 – 20 minutes or until a bamboo skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
To decorate for a lovely dessert or special occasion, or to turn into butterfly cakes: top with a little whipped cream and a tiny dollop of lemon curd.
* IMPORTANT CAUTION: Young Living essential oils are the only ones we would ever consider for ingestion. And only those which state on the bottle they can be used that way. Why? Because Young Living sets the standard for purity and authenticity – essential to the safe ingestion of essential oils appropriate for such use. Young Living carefully monitors the production of its oils from beginning to end through its unique Seed to Seal® process, ensuring the purity of each essential oil and protecting nature’s living energy in every bottle.
