These cupcakes are filled with are two of my favourite things – white chocolate and raspberries. These will make for a great Valentines treat and they taste absolutely scrumptious.

Raspberry Kiss Cupcakes (makes 12)

Ingredients

• 120g Butter
• 75g white chocolate
• 150g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 eggs
• 190g self-raising flour
• 160ml water
• 24 fresh raspberries

Method

1. Melt the butter in a large bowl over a pan of boiling water. When the butter is half melted, add the white chocolate and stir until both are melted. Check for lumps and remove from the heat.
2. Add in the sugar, then the eggs and vanilla essence and mix well. Then sift in the flour and beat together until mixture is smooth.
3. Stir in the water, a little at a time, mixing well between additions until all water has been absorbed into the batter. Bear in mind that it will be quite runny.
4. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into each cup.
5. Place 2 fresh raspberries into each cup, then divide the rest of the batter equally among the cups.
6. Bake at in a preheated open at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes.
7. Then simply remove from the oven and leave them to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

I recommend you eat these little beauties when they’re fresh out of the oven and tear into them while they’re still warm. And on that note – I’m off to make some more.

Have a great week!
