Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one by one, followed by vanilla extract; mix well.

  4. Fill each cupcake liner with two tablespoons of batter. Add a teaspoon of cranberry sauce in the center, then top with another spoonful of batter.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. For frosting, melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Mix in heavy cream until smooth and let cool slightly before frosting cupcakes.
