Cherry Bakewell Cup Cakes

Made some more cup cakes over the weekend but these were a little different to last week in that the recipe uses the "all in one" mixing method.  I had too much mixture so made a couple extra - they appeared to be rising too much but then sank back down to allow enough room for the topping which is glace icing rather than butter cream.  They are like little Bakewell tarts without the pastry.

I tried them with a nice cup of freshly ground coffee and they are gorgeous - really gooey and sweet but with the tang of lemon juice in the icing.  David also really enjoyed them and said how pleased he was that I was baking my way through a cake book!!
