Sometimes (TV) life requires cupcakes

Published 12 March 07 04:06 PM

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.
