Cherry Bakewell Muffins with a Surprise Centre
The surprise centre comprises a jammy filling, using whichever preserve you like! I use a slightly runny cherries/berries preserve, but honestly anything like this will work! This recipe makes 6 and is easily doubled.

Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 165 g Plain Flour
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 110 g Granulated Sugar
- 50 g Melted Butter
- 30 ml Vegetable Oil
- 75 ml Milk
- 1 Medium Egg
- 120 g Glace Cherries Roughly Chopped
- 75 g Flaked Almonds
- 6 tsp Cherry (or any berry) Jam
For the Glaze (Optional)
- 2 Tbsp Icing Sugar
- 2 Tsp Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a 6 hole muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt).
- Make a well and add in the liquid ingredients (melted butter, milk, oil and egg).
- Stir together very gently with a wooden spoon, until only just combined. Fold in the almonds and cherries.
- Scoop batter so that each muffin liner is half full, then dollop in a teaspoon of jam. Cover with remaining batter (don't go too much further than 2/3rds full).
- Bake for 20 minutes, until risen and golden (and a skewer inserted comes out clean). Let cool on a wire rack.
- Once cool, make the glaze if desired and drizzle over. Add extra almonds and cherries for decoration and serve!
