Lemon blueberry teacakes

Almond juicy muffins with lemon flavor and fresh blueberries, covered with lemon glaze. You can cook in muffins or cupcakes, or bake two medium cupcakes. They contain almost no ordinary white flour, but a lot of roasted ground almonds.
For the GLUTEN FREE version, simply replace the flour with a gluten-free flour (rice, corn, etc.)
Ingredients:
*All ingredients must be at room temperature!
● butter - 190 g (room temperature)
● sugar - 180 g
● eggs - 4 pcs (room temperature)
● ground almonds - 190 g
● flour - 45 g
● baking powder - 1/4 tsp
● salt - 1/8 tsp
● zest of 1 lemon (optional)
● lemon juice - 60 ml
● blueberries - 120 g (fresh or frozen) + 36 berries for decoration (3 pcs per cupcake)
For glaze:
● powdered sugar - 160 g
● lemon juice - 25 ml
Cooking:
1. Beat soft butter at room temperature with sugar until fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating the mixture each time until creamy (emulsion).
3. Add ground almonds (you can roast the almonds before grinding, in our opinion it tastes better), then add flour, baking powder, salt and, if you like, grate the lemon zest and mix with a mixer at low speed until all the ingredients are combined.
4. Pour in the lemon juice and stir the mixture until smooth.
5. Thoroughly grease the form with butter, sprinkle with flour and if you are not sure about the non-stick property of your form, you can cut out the appropriate circles from baking paper and put them on the bottom of each cell, so it will be easier to remove the finished cupcakes from the molds.
6. Half fill the molds with the dough, put the blueberries and cover with the remaining dough.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then invert the tin onto a wire rack and tap the bottom to let the cupcakes come out. Cool completely and cover with frosting.
8. For the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Cover cupcakes immediately. Top the cupcakes with fresh blueberries.
It's simple, you can do it!
