Ingredients

  • CUPCAKES
  • cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 125 g unsalted butter chopped
  • ¾ cup caster sugar
  • 225 g self-raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup raspberries mashed
  • ICING
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • GLASS
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • BLOOD
  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • water
  • red and black food colouring

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C fan-forced and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together in an electric mixer until light and creamy.
  • Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat until they’re well mixed in.
  • Add half the flour and mix it through then add half the juice.
  • Repeat.
  • Take the bowl off the stand and fold through the raspberries.
  • Divide the batter between the cupcake case and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • While the cakes are baking make the toffee glass.
  • Heat the water and sugar together in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat a little and leave it to simmer until the sides just start to turn golden (soft crack on a candy thermometer).
  • Line a large baking tray with baking paper and pour the toffee over the top then quickly tilt the tray so that the toffee spreads out. Leave it to set.
  • Leave the cupcakes to cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the icing by beating the butter with an electric mixer then adding the icing sugar. Add a little milk if you need to thin the icing.
  • Spread the cooled cupcakes with icing.
  • Carefully break the toffee into shards and arrange on top of the cakes.
  • Mix the rest of the icing sugar together with red colouring and a hint of black and a little bit of water to get it to the right consistency and colour to drizzle.
  • Drizzle it over the top of the cakes and leave it to set.
  • Serve immediately.
