Orange, passionfruit and yoghurt cupcakes FAQ:

What is the baking time for these cupcakes?

Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How can I tell if the cupcakes are done baking?

The cupcakes are done when they are lightly golden and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. If it has wet batter on it, continue baking in 1-2 minute increments.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt with another type of yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, but it may slightly affect the texture and density of the cupcakes. For a similar tangy flavor and creaminess, use plain yogurt.

How should I store leftover cupcakes?

Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If frosted, refrigerate to maintain freshness, where they can last up to a week.

Can I use a different kind of flour instead of self-raising flour?

You can use all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add baking powder to achieve the same rise. For each cup of all-purpose flour, add about 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps in achieving a smoother batter and more even baking.

- Make sure to fold the wet ingredients gently into the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the cupcakes dense.

- Use fresh passionfruit for the best flavor. You can scoop the pulp out of the fruit with a spoon.

- Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full to allow space for the cupcakes to rise without overflowing.

- If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
