Preheat your oven to 190\u00b0C\/fan 170\u00b0C\/gas 5 and line a cupcake tin with 8 cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. To make the sponges, use an electric hand whisk to beat the eggs and sugar for 5-8 minutes, until the mixture doubles in volume, is thick, light and foamy, and leaves a trail when you lift the whisk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Add the grated lemon and orange zest, sift over the flour, then gently fold everything\u00a0together. Divide the mixture between the cases, and bake for 12 minutes or until risen\u00a0and golden. Leave to cool.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. While they\u2019re cooling, make the icing. Mix together the yogurt and lemon curd until smooth. Cover and chill.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Cut the zest strips into thin strands and cook in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry on kitchen paper, then toss the strands in the sugar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Once the sponges are completely cool, evenly spread the icing over the tops, then divide over the sugared zest to serve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take the cake&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MoreForMembers-StClements-SlimmingWorldBlog.png\" alt=\"A selection of Slimming World cakes\" class=\"wp-image-6445\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you join Slimming World you\u2019ll open a cake tin packed with slim-safe bakes on the exclusive member app and website, including&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/member.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/carrot-cake-squares\">Carrot cake squares<\/a>&nbsp;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/member.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/baked-vanilla-and-clementine-cheesecake\">Baked vanilla and clementine cheesecake<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/member.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/orange-and-raspberry-bites\">Orange and raspberry bites<\/a>&nbsp;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/member.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/chocolate-marble-cake\">Chocolate marble cake<\/a>&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/group-or-online-membership\">Join Slimming World<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Bake&#8217; mum\u2019s day with a box of these zingy little cupcakes \u2013 just like her, they\u2019re simply the zest!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6444,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[30],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6404"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15693,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404\/revisions\/15693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
