Lemon, Elderflower & White Chocolate Trifle

Another week went by and lets kick start this week with LEMON-ELDERFLOWER & WHITE CHOCOLATE TRIFLE. Not your average trifle and it's purely for food lovers who wants a quick fix and be out of the kitchen in a jiffy say approximately less than 30 minutes (includes prepping, and washing up). Are your eyes sparkling up and brain screaming " Hell yeah!".

Baking Recipe: Raspberry Trifle Cupcake

This could possibly be your first thought "more cupcakes?" or maybe should try it with more enthusiasm instead "ooOo.. Raspberry Trifle Cupcakes?" It seems lately I have been bitten by the cupcake bug cause every time when I think of something to share with you, cupcake happens to just pop into my mind.

Okay perhaps I have gone out and not bake something this good in a conventional manner. Yes, I am aware a Trifle should be served in a trifle bowl and for this time I beg to differ. Isn't it fun to have some fun in the kitchen? It's sure a channel for me to relieve stress. The only thing I possibly dread most is cleaning up. LOL...

Basically this cupcake resembles to all the basic elements you find in a trifle. A good raspberry jam, custard and sponge cake. Raspberry Trifle is one of my dad's favourite festive dessert. So when he knew I baked them in a form of a cupcake, he went "really.. a cupcake?"

Now, this cupcake just needs a little effort, patience and love while assembling them. The baking part is easy, and if I say so myself; feel free to go with your found trusted vanilla cake recipe. And if you feel like using a pre-mixed instant cake mix, go ahead. Who's going to hold you to that? I sure wouldn't so long you get to spread the love of this little gem around. As for the custard, I cooked it from scratch and I think it's important to get a really good raspberry jam. The raspberry jam marry all the flavours together bringing the vanilla cake and custard to life.

Serve the cupcake with a cup of tea, espresso or even with a cold glass of milk. A perfect tea time treat as this cupcake is ultra moist and when you get towards the middle, you will experience the berry tangy taste softened by the mild luscious creamy custard. Let me tell you that the centre of this Raspberry Trifle Cupcake is the best part and it happens to be my new absolute favourite combo. Have a great weekend!!
