Strawberry Heart Cupcakes:

Makes 12

Ingredients:

1 packet of Delicious Alchemy gluten and dairy free Vanilla Sponge Mix

3 Large eggs

180g of soft unsalted butter or dairy free alternative

20ml Water

Toppings:

50g unsalted butter or 50g dairy free alternative

100g Icing sugar

Few drops of vanilla extract

6 fresh strawberries, cut into halves 

Method:

1.) Firstly, pre heat the oven to 180c/160c for fan assisted ovens.

2.) Place the cake mix, soft butter OR dairy free alternative, eggs and water into a bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk for 15 sec. Stop, scrap down the mixture and mix for a further 10 seconds.

3.) Line a 12 holed muffin tray with cupcake cases. Spoon the mixture evenly between the 12 cupcake cases.

4.) Bake for around 20 – 22 minutes, until lightly risen and a light golden colour. Take out oven and leave to cool for a few minutes. Take out tray and leave to go cold on a wire tray. Wait till completely cool before adding icing sugar.

5.) In a big bowl sift the icing sugar. Add the unsalted butter OR dairy free alternative and mix until all creamed together. Place in fridge to set.

6.) Cut strawberries in half, place on a plate with seeds facing upward. Use a heart shape cookie cutter or knife to make the top of the strawberries look like heart shapes. Pop a spoonful of butter cream onto each cupcake and then a half of strawberry.

Last but not least, enjoy.

Secondly, some fresh baked bread, so yummy.
