Makes 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • For the cupcakes:
  • 1 cup fine semolina
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour, sifted
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 cup superfine sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 1/4 fresh raspberries (or frozen, thaw before use)
  • 12 raspberries for decoration
  • For the cream cheese frosting:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese 
  • 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter 
  • 1 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar 
  • 1 tsp. raspberry extract 

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-well muffin pan with paper liners.

2

Place the semolina, flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Combine the melted butter, vanilla, and yogurt, then add to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until smooth and just combined. Stir through the raspberries.

3

Divide the mixture evenly among the paper liners. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center of a cake. Transfer onto a wire rack to cool.

4

To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, sugar and raspberry extract in a medium bowl using electric beaters until smooth and combined. Decorate each cake with the frosting and top with a raspberry.

    Due to the lack of egg in this recipe I think they would be easy to veganise. I am going to give them a go because I LOVE cake recipes with a bit of texture and that deliver a big flavour hit. Cheers for sharing 🙂
