These are deliciously moist. Our family really enjoys these. I remember when I heard about tomato cakes from a fellow cook, I was quite skeptical. Believe me, you'll love it too.

How To Make spiced tomato cupcakes white chocolate frosting

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325.

Step 2

Core stem of tomato. Cut into quarters, and place in blender. Puree until almost a liquid. Set aside.
Step 3

In a mixing bowl, beat sugar, butter, and vanilla until creamy. Then add egg and continue to beat.
Step 4

Next add all dry ingredients and tomatoes. Mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes. You can add the tbsp of food coloring here so that your cupcake is a nice rich red color to really showcase the tomato.
Step 5

Spray cupcake tins with Baker's Joy. 2 dozen cupcakes.
Step 6

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.
Step 7

While waiting, start the frosting. In a double broiler, melt white chocolate and milk. Set aside.
Step 8

Then having the cream cheese and butter room temperature, beat with the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Step 9

Add white chocolate. Beat until smooth.
Step 10

Then add the food coloring drops to your desired color intensity. Blend completely.
Step 11

Fill a piping bag and frost your cupcakes. I added green sugar crystals and a white chocolate chip.
