Raspberry and cream Cupcakes

After my careful searches I finally found a cup cake recipe different and like I wanted. I had chance to share this recipe with you. United states is the first thing come in mind when it is about cupcake. It is said that there is a cup cake shop in every street with many gorgeous cup cakes in the US. You can even see cup cakes in movies or TV series such as in sex and the city Carrie ate pink frosting covered and strawberry at the top cup cake. It is impossible to resist the desire for cup cake during that scene :) There is cup cake madness in the world and lets join this madness together ;)

I think the taste of the cake and freshness of the raspberry make the cup cake better because this was it is not too sweet. You can try this recipe with other fruits than raspberry also...

Ingredients:

For the cupcakes;
180g butter, softened
180g caster sugar
180g plain flour
1 heaped tsp baking powder
3-4 tbsp milk
2 free-range eggs
150g raspberries

For the icing;
125g butter, softened
250g icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
small drop red food coloring
12 raspberries

Preparation method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Place all of the cupcake ingredients, except the raspberries, into a food processor and mix until well combined. Add more milk, if necessary, to get the mixture to a soft drop consistency.
3. Put one spoonful of the mixture into the cases, then follow with 2-3 raspberries, and another spoonful of mixture.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, for the icing, beat the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Carefully stir in the icing sugar and continue to beat for five minutes. Beat in the milk and food colouring.
6. Decorate the cupcakes with the icing and top each cupcake with a raspberry.

Enjoy your cupcakes :)
