Ingredients

  • 115 g butter, softened
  • 115 g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 115 g self-raising flour
  • 3 tbsp orange marmalade
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp extra orange marmalade for glazing
  • 1 tbsp orange juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 4

Gradually fold in the self-raising flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Add the orange marmalade, milk, and orange zest, then gently mix until the batter is smooth.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To prepare the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Gently heat the extra orange marmalade in a small pan or microwave until slightly runny, then brush it onto the cooled cupcakes for a shiny finish.

Step 11

Drizzle the orange glaze over the top of each cupcake, allowing it to set before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your delightful marmalade cupcakes with tea or as a citrusy dessert!
