Strawberry Jam Cupcake

Keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding….yeah, I think that’s how the muffins felt. Just look at the photos, don’t they look like they’re bleeding? Haha….

I was thinking what to bake the other day when Lizard Meng suggested muffins with strawberry jam. So, I thought “Why not?”

As for the bleeding, I read in a recipe book which says if we need to bake with jam, we need to use a special kind of jam that’s suitable for baking. Of course I have no idea where to get such special jam, so I make do whatever I can find in Tesco ;p
Not bad la for 1st attempt.


Ingredients:
Plain flour (1 ¾ cup)
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence 80gm butter
1 egg
1 cup yoghurt (I used ½ cup plain yoghurt and ½ cup apricot flavour yoghurt)
½ milk

Preheat oven at 180C.

Method:
1. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla essence.
2. Beat in the egg, milk and yoghurt.
3. Sift flour and bicarbonate soda.
4. Fold in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
5. Fill up muffin cup with 1/3 of the mixture.
6. Add some strawberry jam in the centre. Top with the flour mixture until the muffin cup is 2/3 full.
