  1. Preheat oven to 170deg and line a 12 hole muffin pan with cupcake wrappers of your choice (or do as I do and use a silicone mould and save trees!) bake for 25-30mins in the oven 
  2. Place butter and sugar in a mixing bowl,  (I use a stand mixer because I can walk away from it and do other things at the same time but you can use hand beaters too), and mix on low until combined then turn up the speed to high and mix until the butter/sugar mixture is light in colour and fluffy.
  3. Add each egg one at a time while beaters are on low then add the flour and salt whilst the beaters are on low then follow with sour cream, the lemon zest & the passion fruit pulp and mix until all combined.
  4. Bake in oven for 25-30mins, meanwhile make the icing;
  5. Place butter, cream cheese and icing sugar in mixing bowl and beat on low until combined, then turn up the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy then add passion fruit pulp and lemon zest.
