Alice in Cupcakeland

I'm currently addicted to Subway's macadamia cookies, so I took my white chocolate cupcake recipe and embellished it a bit!

Ingredients

125 g unsalted butter
1/2 c castor sugar
3 eggs
80 g white chocolate bits
3/4 c plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinammon
1 c finely chopped macadamia nuts

Line a 12 hole cupcake tray with wrappers. and preheat your oven to 180C.

Sift your dry incredients into a bowl, along with the chopped macadamias. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

Slowly add the dry ingredients then beat for 4 minutes on high.. Add the white chocolate pieces and mix for a further minute or until they're well distributed.

Divide the batter among the cases and bake for 20 minutes or until cakes spring back when lightly pressed.

Icing

2 c icing sugar
1/4 c cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
50g bar of white chocolate, melted
water

Combine all the ingredients except for the water - slowly add the water until the icing is the right consistancy.
