Sometimes (TV) life requires cupcakes
In honour of my sister's new 'crystal-look' Tupperware cakestand (it
is actually blatantly plastic and rather tacky) I made cupcakes on the
weekend. I tried to be good and leave the majority uneaten so they
could be displayed, but the various emotional traumas in Grey's Anatomy
had to be redressed by cupcake consumption, and so the few survivors
ended up looking rather forlorn.
White Chocolate and Raspberry Cupcakes
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup castor sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
good handful on white chocolate melts
8 frozen raspberries, crumbled
Cream butter and sugar, stir in
egg then flour. Mix in the chocolate (sampling optional) and
raspberries. Spoon mix into paper tins in muffin tray, bake in
200degree oven for approx 15 minutes. Makes 6 (or 10 if you go for
mini-cupcakes). I iced the cakes by briefly microwaving 1 tbsp butter
and 1 tbsp white chocolate melts (on a low setting), then mixing in
about 1 tbsp icing sugar. Ice cakes before the mixture cools.
