Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Mixed fresh fruits (e.g., diced strawberries, blueberries, diced kiwis)
- 0.5 cups Chopped dried fruits (e.g., raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mixed fresh fruits and chopped dried fruits gently with a spatula.
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, top with whipped cream or a light glaze before serving.
