Cupcakes with Candied Fruit

Servings: 10 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 oz melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • Zest of one orange
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup candied fruit + more for decoration

You will also need

  • 1 muffin pan
  • a sifter
  • cupcake liners of your choice

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Leave apart. In a medium bowl beat together butter and sugar on medium-high speed until creamy, 1-2 minutes. Reduce speed and add the egg until integrated.
  • Add orange zest, half the flour mixture and half the orange juice, beat until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as flour will stick to it. Add the remaining flour mixture and orange juice, beat for a few seconds. With a spatula scrape down the sides of the bowl again. Integrate candied fruit with the mix.
