Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C, gas mark 3) and place 12 cupcake cases in a cupcake or muffin tin.

  2. Step 2:

    Place the butter, flour, sugar and baking powder into a large bowl and using a hand held or freestanding electric mixer, slowly mix together until it resembles breadcrumbs.

  3. Step 3:

    Mix together the eggs, orange & lime juice, and milk in a jug then gradually add to the bowl. After mixing thoroughly, spoon the mixture into the cases until they are about 2/3 full.

  4. Step 4:

    Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.

  5. Step 5:

    To make the frosting, mix together the butter and icing sugar until it resembles breadcrumbs in texture, then add the milk and vodka and mix on a high speed until the frosting is soft and fluffy.

  6. Step 6:

    Decorate the cupcakes with frosting using either a piping bag or palette knife and finish with a raspberry on a cocktail stick.
