Method

step 1
Halve and destone 180g of the cherries (200 g), leaving 12 cherries whole.
step 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake cases.
step 3
Empty the cake sachet (1 box) into a bowl and whisk in the milk (100 ml), eggs (3) and softened butter (100 g). Whisk for 1 minute to combine the ingredients well. Toss the stoned cherries in the flour (1 tsp) and fold into the cake mixture with the almonds (50 g).
step 4
Divide the mix between 12 cupcake cases and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cakes are golden brown and spring back when gently pressed.
step 5
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
step 6
Once the cupcakes are cooled, whip the vanilla icing (1 pot) with an electric whisk. Top the cupcakes with the icing and finish with a whole cherry on top.
