Blood Orange Cupcake with Passion Fruit Filling

You can use any white cupcake recipe for this. I have a very generic recipe that I've tweaked over the years, simply changing it up a bit to use the juice of blood oranges for any liquid outside of the eggs.

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, room temperature You can use shortening but I like the buttery option better.
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 5 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup blood orange juice

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350.

  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together. Set aside.

  3. Whip butter in stand mixer until light and fluffy.

  4. Slowly add in sugar. Keep mixing until fully combined.

  5. Pour in dry ingredients, alternating with blood orange juice, until everything is fully mixed but do not over mix. Set aside.

  6. In separate bow, beat egg whites until almost stiff.

  7. Fold egg whites into the rest of the batter until combined.

  8. Put liners in 24 cupcake pan cavities. Fill each 2/3 of the way with batter.

  9. Bake cupcakes for 15-18 minutes, depending on your oven. (Check at 15 minutes.)

  10. Cool on wire rack.
