Tennis ball peach cupcakes
Ingredients (12 cupcakes)
- 100g butter
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 100g self-raising flour
- 75g (3oz) tinned finely chopped peaches
Icing:
- 150g butter
- 275g icing sugar and 5 tablespoons extra for piping
- few drops of yellow food colouring
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C.
- Use a 12-hole muffin tray. Beat the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric whisk until fluffy and creamy.
- Gradually add the eggs and mix in the flour and peaches.
- Divide the mixture into the muffin cases and bake for 18-20 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool.
- Make the icing by beating the butter until fluffy. Then add the icing sugar and mix until smooth. Add in the food colouring until it’s bright yellow.
- When the cakes are completely cool, put the buttercream onto until the top is completely covered and as smooth.
- Allow the cakes to set for 5-10 minutes while you mix the remaining 5 tablespoons of icing sugar with a little water until it is a piping consistency. Put into a piping bag with a small nozzle and pipe two semi-circles onto the cakes so they look like tennis balls.
