- 180g/6oz butter, softened
- 180g/6oz caster sugar

- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 3-4 tbsp milk

- 250g/8oz icing sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- small drop red food colouring
- 12 raspberries
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
- Place all of the cupcake ingredients, except the raspberries, into a food processor and mix until well combined. Add more milk, if necessary, to get the mixture to a soft drop consistency.
- Put one spoonful of the mixture into the cases, then follow with 2-3 raspberries, and another spoonful of mixture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

- Decorate the cupcakes with the icing and top each cupcake with a raspberry.
