Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon passionfruit pulp (for frosting)
- Fresh passionfruit seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the yogurt and passionfruit pulp, mixing until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and fill each liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Tap the cupcake tin on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until combined and fluffy.
- Stir in the passionfruit pulp, adjusting the consistency with milk or more powdered sugar as needed.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes and garnish with fresh passionfruit seeds.
Notes
- For a more intense passionfruit flavor, you can increase the amount of passionfruit pulp in both the batter and frosting.
- These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as shredded coconut or edible flowers, for a unique presentation.
