Summer Fruit Cupcakes with Matcha Buttercream:
Any-Fruit-You-Want Cupcakes
makes 12
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit, chopped to roughly the same size (I used a frozen mixed fruit bag of mango, peach, pineapple, and strawberry – delicious!)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with baking cups.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, followed by the milk. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Gently fold in frozen fruit.
4. Bake for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
