Preheat oven to 180 C. Stand 12 silicone cases on a baking tray.
Putt all the cake ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Divide the cake mixture between the cake cases.
Bake around 20 min until gold.

Cream: put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat well with electric whisk until smooth, add the lemon juice in the end.

Cut out a round from the center top of each cake and cut them in half.
