Ingredients

CUPCAKE:

125 g Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup)

100 g Natvia Baking Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped

200 g Natvia Raspberry Fruit Spread

0.5 teaspoon Xanthan Gum

1 tablespoon Cacao

2 Eggs, beaten

30 g Natvia Sweetener

Pinch Salt

150 g Gluten Free Self Raising Flour

ICING:

125 g Unsalted Butter, softened

35 g Cacao (1/3 cup)

0.5 teaspoon Vanilla

70 g Natvia Sweetener, blitzed to resemble icing sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 160C (fan forced) and line a 12-hole muffin tray with 10 paper cases.
Place the butter and chocolate into a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl combine the raspberry fruit spread, Natvia, salt, xanthan gum and eggs, mix until combined and the mixture is smooth.
Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture and flour into the bowl and mix again.
Spoon the mixture evenly between the cases and bake for 25 minutes.
Leave the cupcakes in the tin for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Mix using a wooden spoon until thick and creamy.
Once the cupcakes are cool, use a piping bag to pipe the icing evenly onto the tops of the cakes.
