Recipe No.18 - Cherry Bakewell Cupcakes

First of all, sorry I've been absent for a while I started a new job this week and haven't had the time to do any baking. So this afternoon I made the Cherry Bakewell Cupcakes.

The sponge recipe for this is really simple and contains ground almonds to give it a light flavour.
Once the cakes are cooked and cooled an apple corer is used to remove the centre which is discarded (or eaten!) and raspberry jam is spooned in.
Glace Icing is poured over the top and a Cherry added. All the steps are simple but it is a little time consuming.

 Cooling down.

 Filled with jam, ready to be iced.

Finished!

Jam in the Centre.














These make such a nice change from little cakes with loads of buttercream which look pretty but obviously have a lot more calories!
