These Persimmon Cupcakes are simply amazing if you can get your hands on some persimmons. Persimmons are orange-colored fruits which are known for their sweet flavor when they are completely ripe. Cut into one too soon and you will be left with a bitter taste in your mouth.
These cupcakes are really delicious and so easy to make. Start by mixing the dry ingredients together. Then cream the butter and sugar and incorporate eggs, persimmon pulp and orange juice. Combine the wet and dry ingredients before baking in the oven. Make a persimmon frosting to top these special treats!
To make Persimmon Cupcakes you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F . Line a cupcake tray with paper cupcake liners.
Bring all the ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan, stirring constantly over medium heat. Simmer for about a minute. Remove from the heat and allow mixture to come to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice and baking soda together in a medium sized bowl.
In a separate larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, persimmon pulp and orange juice and mix until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
Spoon the cupcake batter into the paper cupcake liners to ¾ full. Bake the muffins for about 30 minutes, or until a skewer or a cake tester inserted comes out clean.
Pipe the frosting onto cooled cupcakes and serve with your favorite hot beverage.
