Kiwi Fruit Cupcakes

These kiwi fruit cupcakes are delicious, and moist, with a hint of kiwi fruit throughout the cupcake as well as the icing. When making this recipe, I tend to alternate between green and gold kiwi fruit, depending on what is available at the time.

These cupcakes can be iced with kiwi fruit flavoured buttercream icing or with a simple caster sugar and ground cinnamon mix that is sprinkled on top before baking.

Kiwi Fruit Cupcakes

To make the kiwi fruit cupcakes, you will need:

  • 175g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 175g butter, softened
  • 175g caster sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped

To make the buttercream icing, you will need:

  • 113 g butter, softened
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 – 2 ½ cups icing mixture
  • 2 kiwi fruit, pureed

Instructions for making the Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 160˚C.
  • Grease or line muffin tray.
  • Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
  • Add the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
  • Beat well until mixture is smooth, then stir in the kiwi fruit.
  • Spoon mixture into the cases.
  • If you don’t want to ice the cupcakes with icing, you could top the cupcakes with 1 TBSP caster sugar and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon now before baking.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Instructions for making the Buttercream Icing

  • In a mixing bowl, add the butter and vanilla extract and beat using an electric mixer, until light and fluffy.
  • Puree kiwi fruit and remove chunks, then add to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Slowly add the icing mixture 1/2 a cup at a time, mixing in the icing mixture before adding more.
  • Continue adding icing mixture and mixing until the icing isn’t too moist.
  • Transfer icing to a piping bag or a large ziplock bag and squeeze down to remove any air pockets.
  • Cut one corner off the ziploc bag if using, and pipe the icing onto the cupcakes.
  • Garnish with a small slice of kiwi fruit if desired.
