Strawberry and white chocolate is a wonderful combination, and these cupcakes are topped with white chocolate and made with a strawberry jam centre which is a lovely little surprise.

• Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold into the wet ingredients.
• Stir in the milk if batter is too thick (optional).

Note: the jam will be very hot so careful if eating them fresh out of the oven 🙂
