Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C, and line a cupcake tray with 12 paper cases. In a bowl, mix the bananas, egg and oil. Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder, until well combined.
- Fold in the berries then divide the mixture between the cupcake cases. Bake for 15 minutes, until risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the icing. Mash the raspberries and tip into a small pan; cook for 2 minutes to release the juices. Strain and discard the seeds. Transfer the seedless coulis to the fridge for a few minutes.
- In a food processor, blitz the Truvia and cornflour to combine, then whisk into the soft cheese to make a smooth, thick icing. Stir in the vanilla extract and chilled coulis, then chill for 1 hour.
- Fill a piping bag with the chilled raspberry icing and pipe swirls onto the cooled cupcakes. Top each cake with a whole raspberry.
