Cooking Method
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.
Arrange 6 paper cases in the cake tin.
Add all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk for about 3 minutes until you get a smooth batter.
Divide the mixture between each cake case so each is half full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Cut out a small hole in the centre of each cake and fill with 1 tsp of Original Strawberry Whole Fruit Jam. (Ensure the Jam is room temperature)
Mix the icing sugar, 1 tsp. of pink food colouring and water, until stiff. Place the icing mixture into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes with a squiggly pattern to look like brains.
Leave to set.
These will keep for up to 2-3 days stored in a cool place, in an airtight container.
