Ingredients

- 1/2 cup yoghurt
- 3-4 tamarillos, peeled and sliced
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 190°C fan bake. Thoroughy grease a 12-hole muffin tin.
- 2Gently melt the butter, golden syrup and sugar until the butter has just melted, then beat in the egg. Add in the sifted flour, baking powder and cocoa, mixing well. Combine the baking soda and milk, stirring until it has dissolved then, along with yoghurt, stir into the cake batter.

Notes
Tamarillos are easy to peel. Simply cut a cross at the stem end and immerse in boiling water for 20 seconds or so before peeling. I often have whey left over from making cheese (ricotta) and use this instead of milk with good results.
