I've tried loads of cupcake recipes but these are a hit every time, adapted from a recipe which used cranberries the cherries really work well, especially with the surprise cheesecake middle!
Ingredients
- 100g soft cheese shopping list
- 25g caster sugar shopping list
- 200g soft brown sugar shopping list
- 175g cherries/raspberries etc shopping list
- 200g plain flour shopping list
- 2 tsp baking powder shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 75ml flavourless oil , such as sunflower shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract shopping list
How to make it
- - Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
- - Beat the soft cheese with 25g caster sugar and chill until needed.
- - Sift the flour into a large bowl and add the remaining sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- - Add the eggs, oil, vanilla and cherries, and stir together. Don't worry if the mix looks a bit lumpy.
- - Divide it between the cases, they should look about two-thirds full. Make a small dip in the centre of each and put a blob of soft cheese in.
- - Bake for 25 mins or until risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- I live in Spain, so we have a glut of fresh cherries when they are in season, so I always pitt some, add into jars and cover with amaretto liquer.... then they keep for ages, and if used in the muffins are delicious - just drain well... then drink the left over liquor! (in moderation of course!).
- I did try the cranberry version of this recipe, but really didn't rate them as high as the cherry one..... raspberries would work well tho.
