Banana Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
3 Small Bananas, mashed
150ml Vegetable Oil
3 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
150g Caster Sugar
150g Self Raising Flour
2 tsp Cinnamon
pinch of mixed spice
150g Juicy Raisins
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
60g Butter, softened
200g Cream Cheese
400g Icing Sugar
1-2 tsp Cinnamon
- Line a 12 hole muffin pan with cases
- Beat the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla together
- Stir in the sugar until combined
- Sift in the flour, bicarb. of soda and spices and mix well
- Add the raisins and stir until combined
- Divide mixture between the muffin cases - depending on the size of the bananas you may have too much mixture for the 12 cases - I made 13, which of course means one for the cook!
- Bake in a preheated a 80 degree (C) oven for 20-25 minutes
- Allow to cool on a wire rack
- When cool make the icing
- Beat the butter together with half of the icing sugar, add the cream cheese & beat well
- Add the rest of the icing sugar and cinnamon and beat again until smooth
- Decorate cakes as desired - this makes more than enough icing to decorate these cakes so you might have to make some more cakes!
These cakes were adapted from a recipe that I've previously posted for Butternut Squash cake and the icing came from the fabulous Pink Whisk.
Oh they look so good! I must try that icing , yum!
