These have a soft gingersnap crust, lemon cheesecake and delicious frosting...perfect for a spring dessert. I use recipe #422259, but don't roll them in cinn/sugar. I found this on cupcakeproject.com, she made the recipe for Paula Deen and it looks sooo good! Enjoy!

These cupcakes were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter to the batter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good! The poppyseeds added a nice crunch and the cheesecake filling was the perfect amount of sweetness.
