🎄This week’s Christmas themed Cake of the Week! 🎅🏻🤶🏻 Christmas Cupcakes! ☃️As always recipe below. Whatever you’re doing this festive season, from the Sunday Cake Club team of Paul Johnston and Chef Linda have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!🤩

Christmas Cupcakes
Ingredients

Makes 36
- 175 g/6 oz plain white flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 175 g/6 oz unsalted butter, softened
- 175 g/6 oz light muscovado sugar
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 tbsp medium sherry
- 1 tbsp finely grated orange rind
- 2 tbsp ground almonds
- 60 g/2¼ oz mixed dried fruit.

To Decorate
- 450 g/1 lb ready-to-roll soft white icing
- a few drops of green and red edible food colouring

Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Place 36 paper cases into bun tins or put double-layer paper cases onto baking trays.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a large bowl and add the butter, sugar, eggs and almond extract. Beat well until the mixture is smooth, then stir in the sherry, orange rind, ground almonds and mixed dried fruit.
- Divide the mixture between the paper cases. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until risen, firm and golden brown. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool.
- To decorate, roll out about three quarters of the white icing fairly thinly and cut into 5-cm/2-inch rounds. Brush with a little water and fix one to the top of each cupcake.
- Colour three quarters of the remaining icing green and colour the remainder red. Roll out the green icing and use a small cutter to cut into holly leaves, then shape tiny balls from the red icing to resemble berries.
- Brush the leaves and berries with a little water, then attach on top of the cupcakes and leave to dry.

Optional - Roll out a thin piece of marzipan to put under the icing. Use a bit of Sherry or Brandy to seal it to the cake - or a bit of water if you don’t want to use alcohol.

Enjoy & Merry Christmas. 🎅🏻😀

This Thursday morning Paul Braithwaite will be chatting to award winning features writer and critically acclaimed author, Roger Lytollis. Roger spent many years as a staff writer for Cumberland Newspapers and has also written two books, one of which chronicles his time in a busy newspaper office. "Panic As Man Burns Crumpets" is now available in paperback. In places it is laugh out loud funny but it also details the sad demise of local newspapers. With the old Cumberland News building on Dalston Road reduced to a pile of rubble, Roger will describe his time there and how it all crumbled. Also in the programme you will have the chance to win a Christmas present from Santa's sleigh! Join Paul from 9am this Thursday.
