    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    3

    In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

    4

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

    5

    Stir in the vanilla extract and quark cheese. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

    6

    Mix until just combined. Fill the muffin liners about three-quarters full.

    7

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    8

    Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

    9

    For the frosting, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Continue whipping until smooth and creamy.

    10

    Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag. Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest.
