Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes

Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes- all the flavour of a traditional hot cross bun in a cupcake- cinnamon, ginger, mixed spice and raisins. Easy to make treats for Easter.

How much do you love Hot Cross Buns? They're a real seasonal treat (although seasonal for Easter seems to start straight after Christmas now!) There are so many varieties these days, chocolate, apple, ginger etc. I love the apple ones personally, if I'm veering from the traditional. So, I thought, why not add Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes to the mix?

My Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes have all the spice and flavour of a hot cross bun, but with a cake base. They have a plain cupcake base with the hot cross bun spices and raisins added. The spices make the cake taste almost as though it's been made with wholemeal flour. I tend to go heavier on the cinnamon than the other spices, because I love that flavour more than the others, but you can play with the balance of spices however you prefer.

So if you've had enough of all the Easter eggs and chocolate, bake yourself a batch of these for a different type of Easter treat.
