Orange And Poppy Seed Cupcakes With Passionfruit Butter Cream
- 1 cup self-raising flour sifted
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 9/16 cup unsalted butter chopped, room temperature
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1 Orange
- 2 tablespoons juice
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 3 tablespoons milk
- marmalade good quality, for glazing
- 2 tablespoons passionfruit pulp, strained to separate seeds, for icing
- 9/16 cup unsalted butter chopped, room temperature, for icing
- 1 7/8 cups icing sugar well sieved, for icing
- Preheat oven to 180C (not fan forced) for mini cupcakes, or 200C (not fan forced) for standard size cupcakes.
- Take eggs, butter and milk out of the fridge to come to room temperature. While that's happening, measure out the other ingredients and get everything ready.
- Stir 2 TB milk into the poppyseeds in a small bowl. The poppyseeds should start making 'zingy' noises.
- Combine flour, sugar, butter, eggs and 2tsp of the orange rind in the large bowl of a food processor, don't over-mix.
- Add the freshly squeezed orange juice through the top of the processor while pulsing the mix.
- If more liquid is required to make a smooth batter, add half to a TB of milk.
- Fold the poppyseeds into the batter with a metal spoon. Add remaining chopped orange zest to taste.
- Spoon the batter into muffin tins lined with cupcake papers.
- Bake mini cupcakes for 8-10 minutes and regular cakes for 15 minutes. The tops will spring back when gently prodded.
- When done, immediately take the cupcakes out of the tins and onto wire racks.
- While cakes are still warm, use a pastry brush or bread knife to carefully spread gently warmed marmalade on the tops of the cupcakes.
- For the icing, beat butter with electric beaters until pale and fluffy.
- Beat in half of the icing sugar and half of the juice from the passionfruit pulp until combined.
- Beat in the second half of the icing sugar and passionfruit juice.
- Add a little extra milk (1/2 to a TB) if required to make a very light and fluffy icing.
