Apple Cider Cupcakes

Step 01

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, olive oil and vanilla in a large bowl then whisk in the eggs one at a time.

Step 02

Add the baking soda, cinnamon, half of the flour and half of the cider and whisk to combine. Add the remaining flour and cider and whisk until completely combined.

Step 03

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup about ⅔ full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean then let cool.

Step 04

Make the frosting/icing: cream the butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the powdered sugar in 3-4 additions, mixing between each.

Step 05

Add the cinnamon, apple cider and vanilla and mix to combine then transfer to a piping bag.

Step 06

Pipe the frosting/icing onto the cupcakes, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy.
