Different Flavours of Cupcakes


A wee baking session on Saturday, the Red Velvet Cupcakes from this book are lovely.
'The Hummingbird Bakery - cupcakes and muffins'
I also used the Chocolate Cupcake recipe and added the rind of one orange to the mix, then topped them with the vanilla butter icing, but I put in the rind from another orange and 20mls of orange juice instead of the milk.
The pink ones are the vanilla recipe with 25grams of coconut and 50grams of frozen raspberries - fold the raspberries in gently at the end to avoid having blue coloured cupcakes! They were then topped off with the vanilla butter icing, but 25grams of defrosted raspberries were beaten in instead of the milk.
The addition of 1tsp of cinnamon and a peeled and grated apple to the recipe also works well, with 1/2 a tsp of cinnamon in the butter icing instead of vanilla.
As this is a very light cake mix I found that when I added chocolare chips they tended to stink to the bottom and stick to the cupcake cases.
