White Cupcake Recipe

This White Cupcake Recipe makes beautifully dense and moist cupcakes.

White chocolate cupcakes are deliciously rich and decadent. Sometimes for a real treat I add some frozen raspberries to the mixture as I love the tartness of raspberries combined with the sweetness of the white chocolate.

I have included the ingredients and instructions for an easy white chocolate ganache. If I haven't added frozen fruit to the white cupcake recipe, I love to frost cupcakes with ganache and top with finely sliced Cherry Ripe or other candy covered fruit bar.

I always avoided making white chocolate mud cake as I thought it would be a difficult cake to make. Since finding this recipe many years ago, I realised how easy they are to make and now these cupcakes are often enjoyed by my family and friends.

Like all mud cakes, these white chocolate mud cupcakes keep really well and can easily be made a day ahead of when required.

Ingredients:

• 4oz (125g) white chocolate
• 5oz (165g) butter, chopped

• 1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3oz (85g) Cherry Ripe bar, finely chopped (or any suitable chocolate bar)
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 300F(150C).

• Line cupcake trays with cupcake papers.

• Place chocolate, butter, milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until smooth. Remove from heat.

• Top each cupcake with chopped Cherry Ripe.
