Plum cupcakes

Yum yum! I was excited by these lovely cupcakes, partly as they were yummy in themselves but also as I feel like a world of possibility has opened up with the whole "jam in cupcakes" idea!

They were very sweet, but I think that's as the jam was particularly sweet in itself. I was really happy with these and would definitely make them again! The sponge was more dense than the "normal" vanilla combination, almost scone-like. Perhaps it was the buttermilk, and I guess that's why the jam didn't sink while baking...
