For the Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). Line a muffin tin with 12 Muffin Cases.

2

Make up the Egg White Powder as directed on the packet. Add the Cream of Tartar and whisk until stiff. Gradually whisk in the sugar to make a light and fluffy meringue. Add the Almond Extract.

3

In batches, sift and gently fold the flour into the meringue mixture until well combined, trying to keep the mixture as light and fluffy as possible.

4

Spoon the mixture into the Muffin Cases to fill half full and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen, lightly golden and springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

5

To Decorate

To decorate, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Gradually mix in approx. 60ml (4tbsp) warm water to make a smooth, spreadable icing. 

6

Carefully spread a little icing over each cake. Allow to set for a few minutes before decorating with glace cherries. Your cakes are now ready to serve and enjoy.

7

Cut a small circle of sponge out of the cupcake and remove, fill with a tsp of jam and place the sponge on top of the jam.
