Lemon-limoncello filled cupcakes from Brown Eyed Baker

These are from a 2009 post at the food blog Brown Eyed Baker, but were so bright and cheerful-looking, I wanted to share them. She writes:

There are three levels of lemon flavor in the cupcakes that combine to deliver the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and had people fighting over the last cupcake (seriously). The batter is flavored with lemon zest, lemon juice and a punch of limoncello; a tart lemon curd fills the inside of the cupcakes, and on top sits a sweet cream cheese frosting with the subtle tang of limoncello. These are simple and classy, a perfect dessert for a summer meal.
