Low Calorie White Chocolate and Raspberry Doughnut style cup

Hi there, just thought I'd share my amazingly tasty treat! It's an adapted WeightWatchers recipe, and comes in at approximately 90 calories per cupcake, then depending on how much frosting you add on the cupcake can vary up to 150 calories.

So: White Chocolate and Raspberry Doughnut Style Cupcakes!

For the sponge:

100g (3 1/2oz) low fat polyunsaturated margarine
100g (3 1/2oz) caster sugar
175g (6 oz) self raising flour, sifted
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons skimmed milk
a few dollops of sugar free diabetic raspberry jam

For the filling
50g (1 3/4oz) white chocolate
150g (5 1/2oz) low fat soft cheese
2 tbsp icing sugar


Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 3/160oc/fan oven 140oc. Place 12 cupcake cases in a bun tray.

Place all the sponge ingredients together in a mixing bowl and beat for 2-3 minutes.

Put one teaspoon of mixture in the bottom of each cupcake case, followed by half a teaspoon of raspberry jam. Then add another teaspoon of mixture on top of the jam, making sure it covers it completely.

Bake for 18-20 mins until risen and springy to the touch. Turn out on to a wire rack to cool.

Break up the chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl, set over a pan of gently simmering water until melted. Cool slightly, then beat in the soft cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Chill in the fridge until needed.

Wait for the cupcakes to cool, then add one teaspoons worth of frosting on top of each one.

ENJOY.
