Instructions
To Make the Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners and leave to one side.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add in the flour, eggs, vanilla, and baking powder and whisk until all combined.
- Add in the zest of the lime and the Prosecco and mix again until completley combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the cupcake liners. I use a small ice cream scoop to do this so I know that they are all even.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You will know the cupcakes are ready when they are golden brown and springy to touch.
- Leave to cool completley.
To Make the Buttercream
- In a large bowl add the butter, icing sugar and vanilla and mix until it is all combined.
- Split the mixture evenly between two bowls.
- In one bowl add a teaspoon of Prosecco one at a time and mix between each addition until the buttercream reaches the desired consistency.
- Add a small amount of pink food colouring to the Prosecco buttercream and mix. Keep adding small amounts until you reach the desired consistency. Leave to one side.
- Put a seive over a small bowl and cut the passionfruit in half and remove the seeds into the sieve. The juice should drain into the bowl.
- With your second bowl of buttercream add 1tsp of Passionfruit one at a time until it reaches the desired consistnecy. The passionfruit juice should make it a lovely yellow colour but you could add a little yellow food colouring to enhance the colour.
- Cut a strip of cling film and lay it down on your work surface, genlty spread the pink buttercream along the clingfilm. Spread the yellow buttercream beside it.
- Roll the cling film up and tie off both ends.
- Cut one of the ends and put the clingfilm into your piping bag.
- Pipe the buttercream onto the top of the cake and finish with some sprinkles.
