Cactus Fruit Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

I stopped at a produce stand the other day and found some cactus fruit, so of course I couldn't pass it up. You can't really just slice and eat it, because it is FULL of little seeds that are hard as rocks. So I decided to put them through the juicer and make cupcakes. Just make sure you strain the juice really well so you don't end up with any surprise seeds hiding in your cupcake.
What you need.


1 1/3 cups self rising flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup cactus fruit juice
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla


Preheat oven to 350 and line a cupcake pan
In large bowl mix oil, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, water, mix well.  Alternate adding the flour and juice. mix well. Fill cup cake papers 2/3 of the way. Bake for 15 minutes.


Frosting
4 oz Cream Cheese softened
1 stick of butter softened
3 cups powdered sugar
cream butter and cream cheese together, slowly add sugar till well blended.
