You have never had cupcakes like these before - they are the best. We decorated them with passionfruit icing and topped each one with an edible flower.

125 g Butter
¾ cup Caster sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
3 Eggs
1½ cups Self raising flour
½ cup Milk
1 packet Passionfruit pulp

Passionfruit Icing

2 cups Icing sugar
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Cream cheese
1 dash Passionfruit pulp

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degC fan bake.
  2. Place softened butter into cake mixer and beat until white for 5 minutes, then add sugar and continue to beat.
  3. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time. Sift in flour and add milk and beat quickly, but surely (10 beats is ideal). Do not over-mix.
  4. Place into cupcake cases and bake for about 25 mins - or when spongy to touch - and pale golden brown.
  5. Cover with passionfruit icing, then split and fill with freshly whipped cream, or leave as is.

 Passionfruit Icing

  1. Beat together 2 cups icing sugar, 1 tbsp soft butter and 1 tbsp cream cheese, thinning to the right consistency with passionfruit syrup.
