    Smile Passionfruit cupcakes?

    Alright so this is probably going to sound like a really silly question...
    I had these cupcakes a few weeks ago at a school fete and they were Divine!!!!!!!(but i cant track the recipe down)
    They where passionfruit cupcakes.. the passionfruit wasnt overpowering it was just really suttle i think it was what made the cupcakes realy moist (correct me if im wrong) They didnt need icing either as they were so gd without them

    But i want to make them for my friends daughters 1st bday tomorow and was wondering if i should just make a normal vannila or buttercake and add passionfruit ?? how else can i replicate these lol

    I think i have a recipe for passionfruit yoghurt cupcakes, the yoghurt keeps them pretty moist! It may have orange in it too tho, i will seek and find!

    EDIT: Found it, probably not the one you're after but they are super yummy

    Makes 12

    Ingredients

    • 125g unsalted softened butter
    • 3/4 cup caster sugar
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated orange rind
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
    • 2 passionfruit, pulp reserved
    • 2/3 cup Greek-style yoghurt
    • 1 1/3 cups sifted self-raising flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    Method

    1. Preheat oven to 170?C. Using electric beaters, beat butter, caster sugar and orange rind in a large bowl for 4-5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Gradually add eggs, and beat until well combined.
    2. Using a large metal spoon, fold through orange juice, the passionfruit pulp, yoghurt, flour and baking powder until just combined.
    3. Spoon the cake mixture into small patty cases. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and serve warm.

    Made Jitterbug's recipe today and they're pretty yum! Wonder what they'd be like with a bit more passionfruit pulp, might try that next time. I love passionfruit. Will have to try the other recipe when I have some OJ and yoghurt in the house.

    Can I give a tip? Sieve the pulp, and also if you can make cream cheese icing instead of butter icing with full pulp in them! And don't forget you can also use passionfruit curd or lemon curd as filling

    I decided not to go icing, because icing and my boys, ohhh mercy. We only have icing sometimes. I just dusted them with icing sugar. Why do you say to sieve the pulp? So you don't include the seeds?
