Instructions
To makes the sponges
Preheat the oven to 180C/355F (160C/320F fan). In a large bowl, add the sugar, cherries, sultanas, raisins, orange zest and lemon zest.
Add the oil, eggs, apple and rum and mix well.
Add the flour, almonds, bicarbonate of soda, mixed spice and cinnamon to the bowl and mix through.
Line a 12 hole muffin pan with muffin cases and share the batter evenly between them.
Bake for approx 20 minutes, until spongy to touch. Turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
To make the frosting
Meanwhile, in a bowl beat the butter, icing sugar, rum, cinnamon, vanilla and mixed spice together until pale, smooth and creamy.
Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Finish off with sprinkles, if you like.
