Orange-Almond Cupcakes image

Orange marmalade is good for more than hot buttered toast. Try it in this recipe for almond cupcakes: It gets incorporated into the batter and makes a pretty topping.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup sweet orange marmalade
1 cup natural almonds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy cream, whipped to medium peaks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in top position. Line 18 muffin-pan cups with paper liners. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and 1/3 cup marmalade until pale yellow and fluffy, 4 minutes. In a food processor, process almonds until finely ground. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and process until almonds are completely incorporated into flour mixture.
  • With mixer on low, beat eggs, one at a time, into butter mixture, scraping down bowl after each addition. Add buttermilk and flour mixture each in three additions, scraping down bowl after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
  • Fill each muffin cup with cup batter. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 22 to 24 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Let cupcakes cool in pans on wire racks. Top each with a dollop whipped cream and evenly drizzle with 1/3 cup marmalade.
