Project #7: Mixed Dried Fruits Cupcakes

Got a special request from the big boy for fruit cake:

In conjunction with SG50

 The preparation:

Mixed dried fruits soaked in rum

1st batch

Something went really wrong
Re-read the recipe, I missed the word "melted butter"

2nd batch - beautiful
But not enough fruits ;-/

Recipe adapted from here:

Ingredients ~ makes 8
125g Melted Butter
40g Sugar
3 Large eggs, lightly beaten
120g Self raising flour
100g Natural yoghurt
60g Dried mixed fruit + 20g dried cranberries + 1 tbsp rum (mix together)
1 tbsp Rum
1 tsp Vanilla extra

Instructions:

• Mix the mixed fruit and dried cranberries with 1 tbsp rum and set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
• In a large bowl, mix well melted butter and sugar together then add beaten eggs, natural yoghurt, rum and vanilla extract ~  mix well with a hand whisk.
• Sieve in self raising flour, mix well and sprinkle some flour onto  dried mixed fruit and fold in with a rubber spatula (do not over mix).
• Spoon mixture to muffin cups or liners to 3/4 full and sprinkle extra mixed fruit on top.
• Bake at preheated oven at 180C for 20-25 mins or skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
