Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Tip the first 8 ingredients into a large bowl and beat with electric whisk until smooth. Fold the crushed raspberries through the batter.
  2. Divide the batter between the cases (they should be about half full) and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden and just firm. Make the topping by mixing together the orange juice and sugar until well blended.
  3. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool a little. Drizzle each with the orange and sugar crust mix. Top with the extra raspberries to serve.

    These are absolutely delicious! I changed the recipe a bit though: For less fat I substituted 100 grams of butter with 100 grams of natural yoghurt. Instead of ground almonds I used 25 grams of ground hazelnuts and 25 grams of poppy seed. I cut down on the sugar and only used 150 grams - they came out very sweet still and I think that next time I'll only use 100 grams. I added more raspberries and some vanilla extract to the dough. Since I had no oranges at home, I made a lemon drizzle. They were really moist and tasty, really lovely!

    I'm not a great baker, so was thrilled with how delicious these cakes were. I'd certainly make them again, but may try with just the orange juice on top, rather than the sugar mix, so that I get the moist cake without so much sweetness. Will see if it works.

    Beautifully tasty and fresh. However the raspberries sunk to the bottom and they ended up quite soggy :( Still delicious though!

    Excellent recipe easy to follow and great end result. I added some dark chocolate chunks and made and orange butter cream and raspberry icing which worked really well. My friends keep asking for more!

    Best cupcake recipe I have tried! Would recommend this to anyone. Is very versitile also. I did Lemon curd cupcakes, same recipe except I put some grated lemon rind in the cup cakes, cut a little hole in the top when they were baked and cooled down, and popped some lemon curd in them. They were awesome. I did the original recipe also, and that was brilliant too.

    What a brilliant, quick and easy recipe. Will be trying this with different combinations - am thinking an apricot variation maybe.

    My first attempt at making cupcakes! Ingredients were easy to find and recipe easy to follow (even for someone as inexperienced as myself!). Was not overly impressed with the finished product however. I would have prefered the cupcakes to be more moist and soft, and to have a bit more flavour. My flatmate however loved them and even decorated a few with buttercream (which made them a lot tastier!). I probably will not use this recipe again but if I do I'd add white choccolate chips to the cupcake and buttercream on top just to enhance the flavours and to make the cupcakes less dry.

    I was dubious about adding all ingredients in one go however the cupcakes turned out very well :) They are very moist and the orange glaze goes very week with the raspberry flavour :) I will be making a batch to take into the office :)
