Carousing with white chocolate...

Ah..White chocolate....
Chocolate that isn't dark... I know I know...that's really lame...
But what isn't is this amazing white chocolate cupcake recipe. I was surprised at how easy it is and using just one ingredient that u have to buy-white chocolate. the rest...the same as any vanilla cupcake batter.
I added a swirl of a berry crush. It wasn't mentioned in the recipe. You can even hide a small blob of jam inside which helps to cut the sweetness of the cake.
I also did not cover them with frosting, because when I bit into one... All I will say is that frosting is not necessary.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
