Alice in Cupcakeland

The name of these speak for themselves! They're also super easy to make, and can really be used with just about any type of icing. I go with strawberry, because really, what's better than white chocolate and strawberry?

Ingredients

125 g unsalted butter
1/2 c castor sugar
3 eggs
80 g melted white chocolate (I just do this in the microwave!)
3/4 c plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

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

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each (this makes the mixture light and fluffy) then add white chocolate and stir to combine.

Sift flour and baking powder over cake batter and fold in until combined. Divide the batter among the cases and bake for 20 minutes or until cakes spring back when lightly pressed.

Icing

1 egg white
1 c icing sugar
3 c fresh strawberries pureed OR
1 c strawberries in syrup pureed (drain the syrup first)

Beat the egg white until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in icing sugar, then the pureed strawberries. Mix until combined.
