Strawberry and white chocolate cupcakes (slimming world friendly)

Straight away I'll say even though these are yummy they aren't the traditional sugar and butter laden cupcakes as they only work out at 1/2 syn each!

There has been a recipe for a 1/2 syn roulade cake doing the rounds at Slimming World for years and this cupcake recipe is a variation of this and it's a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth. As the whole recipe for the cake mixture is only 1/2 syn that's negligible when this recipe makes 12 cupcakes so the half a syn comes from the white chocolate chips I used on top ....yes REAL chocolate : )

Chocolate is 6 syns per 25g so I weighed out that amount of chocolate chips and divided them between the cakes , with the chocolate and the strawberries these really are a treat.

PS:  I  realised too late I didn't include the vanilla I used in the photo ..sorry 





Strawberry and white chocolate cupcakes


4 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks in separate bowls)
4 tbsp granulated sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla essence  
1 tub quark
1 tsp baking powder

topping



25g white chocolate chips
2 tbsp granulated sweetener 
1/2 tsp vanilla essence 
strawberries


Pre heat the oven to gas 4/ 350/180 , Whisk the egg whites until very stiff then set aside, In another bowl  add the sweetener, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence and 1/2 tub of quark and mix well.

Add the egg whites to the yolk mixture and fold in gently with a metal spoon to keep the mixture light and airy.

Place spoonfuls of the mixture in cupcake cases in a cupcake tin and bake for 20 minutes and leave to cool.

Place the rest of the quark with the 2 tbsp sweeter and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence in a bowl and beat well then use this to top the cooled cupcakes, Top with a strawberry and the chocolate chips.
