Cherry and White Chocolate Cupcakes...with a lime butter frosting.

4.5oz SR flour
1 tsp baking powder
2.5 oz sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 oz white chocolate chips
3 oz cherries

2.5 fl oz oil
1 egg
1 TBspn orange water or orange juice

2 0z butter
4oz icing sugar
1/2 packet of lime Kool Aid

In a bowl mix the flour,baking powder,sugar,cinnamon and white chocolate

In a jug mix the oil,egg and orange, beat till frothy

I couldn't get fresh cherries so used dried. I rehydrated them in a little hot water, then dried them and rolled in a little flour.




Add the oil mix to the dry mix, then stir in the cherries.

Divide into 8 cupcake cases.



Bake at Gas Mark 4 for 20 minutes



Beat the butter,icing sugar and koolaid, add a little milk or cream if the mix is too stiff, then pipe over the cakes. It makes a strong flavoured icing so I only used a little on each cake.
