Whisk the ingredients in the large bowl at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Then gently fold well the mixtures with a rubber spatula.

Fill the cases or cupcake liners to 2/3 full and bake in the middle rack of the oven for about 25-30 minutes or test with a skewer inserted into the cake. If it's ready it should come out clean.

Meanwhile, start making the lemon syrup. Boil 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice and Caster Sugar (3 Tbsp) until the sugar is dissolved at low heat.
