Orange, passionfruit, and yogurt cupcakes are a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors. These cupcakes are moist and fluffy, thanks to the inclusion of greek yogurt in the batter. The fresh citrus taste from the orange zest and juice, combined with the tropical notes of passionfruit, create an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the orange zest and mix until well incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully mixed before adding the next.
- Pour in the orange juice and mix until incorporated.
- Scoop out the pulp from the passion fruits and add it to the mixture, stirring well to combine.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay as this will ensure the cupcakes are light and fluffy.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, you can optionally frost them with your favorite frosting. A cream cheese frosting would pair well with the citrus flavors.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest or a few passionfruit seeds for an added touch.
- Your Orange, Passionfruit, and Yogurt Cupcakes are now ready to be enjoyed! Perfect for any occasion, they are sure to delight with their refreshing and vibrant flavors.
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.
Enjoy these flavorful and moist orange, passionfruit, and yogurt cupcakes as a sweet treat for any occasion. They bring together the tanginess of citrus and the tropical notes of passionfruit to create a truly delectable dessert. Serve them fresh out of the oven or save them for later; either way, they are sure to be a hit!
