Ingredients
Method
1. To make the icing, whisk the butter with an electric hand whisk until
pale and creamy. Si in the icing sugar. Stir with a spoon to roughly
combine and then beat with the electric whisk until light and fluffy.
Add the ice cream and whisk until just combined.
2. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Whisk the chilled icing until
fluffy then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1cm/½in star nozzle
and put it back in the fridge while you get on with the baking.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and line a 12-hole large
muffin tray with some cupcake cases of your choice. Add a biscuit to
the base of each case, then top that with a whole strawberry, pointy bit
facing up.
4. To make the cake batter, add the clotted cream and sugar to a mixing
bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a
time, mixing well aer each one. Add the vanilla bean paste and flour
and mix until you have a smooth batter.
5. Divide the mixture between the 12 cases, making sure that each
strawberry is completely covered. Tap the tray on the work surface to
level off the batter and bake for 15 minutes, until they are fluffy and
golden.
6. Take out of the oven and leave in the tin for 10 minutes before
transferring them to a cooling rack.
7. Pipe the icing onto the tops of the shortcake cupcakes and then
sprinkle with the freeze-dried strawberries.
