Orange And Passion Fruit Butterfly Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

9 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 None orange, zested
2 None large eggs
1 cup self-rising flour, sifted
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tbsp passion fruit pulp, plus extra to decorate
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
None None powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
For the batter, beat butter, sugar and zest together with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour alternating with combined orange juice and passion fruit. Spoon batter evenly into liners until 2/3 full. Bake 20-25 mins, until golden. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
To ice and decorate cupcakes, use the tip of a sharp knife to cut a circle from the top of each, angling toward the center. Remove cake circles and cut in half. Fill holes with whipped cream. Position cake pieces in cream to form butterfly wings. To serve, dust with powdered sugar and spoon extra passion fruit between butterfly wings.
