Sicily Lemon Swirl Cupcakes - Lemon Earthquake Cake is a dessert that starts with a layer of coconut and macadamia nuts, followed by a lemon cake and cream cheese swirl, all topped and baked with white chocolate chips. Try my Oreo Earthquake Cake and Pumpkin Earthquake Cake for a couple more varieties of an earthquake cake. Using a stand or hand-held mixer, beat the sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. These cute raspberry and lemon swirl cupcakes hide a sweet surprise - a pink heart baked into the batter. In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric whisk, combine the butter, sugar and lemon zest until very pale.
