Mouth-watering cupcakes are topped with real fruit icing

Ingredients

250 g unsalted butter, softened, chopped

4 eggs

200 g caster sugar

250 g self-raising flour, sifted

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp vanilla extract

100 ml milk

450 g icing sugar mixture plus extra to serve

2 passionfruit, pulp removed

Juice of ½ lemon

Juice of ½ lime

100 g fresh raspberries plus extra to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Line 20 of the holes in 
two 12-hole (¹⁄³-cup capacity) muffin tins 
with paper cases.
  2. Put butter, eggs, 
caster sugar, flour, baking powder and vanilla in 
a food processor and process until smooth. 
With motor running, 
add milk and process 
until smooth. Divide mixture among cases in prepared tins until cases are two-thirds full.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes 
or until light golden and cooked when tested with 
a skewer. Remove from oven and transfer cakes 
to a wire rack. Set aside 
to cool completely.
  4. To make fruity icings, divide icing sugar among 
3 bowls. Add passionfruit pulp to 1 bowl and stir to combine. To the second bowl, add lemon and lime juice and stir to combine. To the third bowl, add raspberries, then mash 
with a fork to crush and 
stir to combine. Add extra icing sugar to thicken 
fruity icings, if desired.
  5. Use a palette or blunt-edged knife to ice cakes with fruity icings. Top raspberry-iced cakes with extra raspberries. Serve.
