The batter smelled absolutely divine - I got some really nice passionfruit from Waitrose
Passionfruit and Pineapple Cupcake
90g butter, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup cornflour
1/2 cup crushed pineapple (well drained)
1/4 cup passionfruit pulp (about 2 fruits depending on size)
Lime and Coconut Buttercream
115g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
grated zest of 1-2 limes (approx 2 teaspoons)
500g icing sugar, sifted
Handful of dessicated coconut to decorate
Preheat oven to 180C
Beat butter, eggs, sugar and flour in a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until ingredients are just combined. Increase speed to medium, beat until mixture is pale in colour.
Stir in passionfruit pulp and crushed pineapple.
Divide mixture among cupcake cases.
Bake for approximately 20-25minutes
For the frosting - beat butter, lime juice, zest and half the icing sugar until smooth. Gradually add the remainder of the icing sugar and beat until thick and creamy.
