Cranberry Vodka Muffins

I love a challenge so when my fellow Chutney Chum & cake twin Jenny from Mummy Mishaps posted her December 'I love Cake' I felt that I had to rise to the challenge and post a new Christmas related cake recipe as well as the Gingerbread cupcake and Snowball recipes that I included in her linky.


So here is my recipe for Cranberry Vodka Muffins, using the cranberries from the last of my Cranberry Vodka that I made for Christmas presents, along with some of the vodka...leaving me with just half a glass for myself which I topped up with tonic and enjoyed whilst cooking Christmas Eve Eve dinner.

2 tsp baking powder
