Pink Cup Cakes

150g sunflower spread
150g caster sugar
3 eggs
vanilla essence
150g self raising flour
1 tbsp raspberry jelly conserve (mashed into tiny bits)

75g butter
175g icing sugar
strawberry flavour
milk

Cream the sunflower spread and sugar together.  Add and whisk in the eggs.  Add a couple of drops of vanilla essence and mix in.   Mix in the four.  Finally carefully stir in the jam.

Spoon into 12 cases and bake in a pre-heated over for 12 – 15 minutes.

When cooked remove from the oven and leave on a rack to cool.

Once cool make the butter icing.  Mix all the ingredients together except for the milk.  Once mixed just a a couple of drops of milk until creamy and spreadable.

Spread onto the cupcakes and add a few sprinkles to decorate.

These turned out to be delicious and were all eaten within 24 hours.
