Kiwi cupcakes

Kiwi cupcakes

We’re having gorgeous leaving cert weather at the moment (which you can only really enjoy if you’re not one of those unfortunate people doing the leaving cert!) so are having a picnic. My brother is home currently and for some reason this means there’s lots and lots of kiwis in the house (he likes kiwis?), which just made kiwis cupcakes seem the right zesty choice of cupcakes to make…

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups flour

1 cup sugar

2 kiwis

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup oil

1 teaspoon vinegar

2-3 drops lemon essence (optional)

Preheat oven to 180°

1. Blend the kiwis until a smoothie like consistency (you can also mash them until this consistency with a fork, but it may take a bit longer)

2. Mix sugar and flour together. Add water, oil, blended kiwi and lemon essence (if using).

3. Add vinegar and mix well. Pour mixture into cupcake cases and bake for 20mins or until toothpick comes out clean.

Top with chocolate icing (we melted chocolate and just dipped the cupcakes in) if desired.

I love how the inside had visible little bits of the little black kiwi seeds...
