Bleeding Heart Cupcakes

Bleeding heart cupcakes are really appropriate for Valentines Day or Mothers Day, as they are made in heart-shaped molds. The jam oozes out when the bleeding heart cupcake is bitten into. Delicious, especially if eaten when still warm.

All you need:

1 quantity of vanilla cupcakes
Strawberry jam
Icing sugar

Follow the recipe for my vanilla cupcakes.

Half fill the lightly greased molds with batter*, place a spoonful of jam in the center and top with batter.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until tops spring back when pressed.

Cool bleeding heart cup cakes in the tin for five minutes

Serve the strawberry cupcakes warm, sprinkled with icing sugar.

*Do not overfill the molds or the cake will become misshapen.
