First up, an apology.  It’s been a LONG time since I shared any recipes.  But I’m back with some delicious cupcakes just in time for summer – cherry cheesecake flavour.  Cheesecake definitely works in cupcake form.  You’ve got the buttery biscuit base, tangy creamy cheese, and to top it off, some fruit! All with the added bonus of a sponge cake too.

Cherry Whim-Wham Cupcakes

baking, cupcakes, recipe

When I was little and growing up in Yorkshire, sometimes as a treat my family and I would take a drive to a place called Brymor Farm in Masham for ice cream.  It may have been a quite few years ago now but I can still remember the taste of my absolute favourite flavour, Cherry Whim-Wham, which was vanilla ice cream rippled with cherries.  Now, while I still believe the ice cream can’t be beaten, I didn’t think it would hurt to pay tribute to it with a cupcake!  The result – a light little sponge rippled with cherry compote, and topped with light and fluffy vanilla buttercream with more hints of cherry.
