- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
18 cupcakes
- Serves:
- 18
ingredients
- 1 white cake mix (515 g)
- 1 1⁄3 cups water
- 3 eggs
- 1⁄3 cup canola oil
- 1 orange
- 2 3⁄4 cups frozen blueberries
directions
- In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix by mixing it with water, eggs and oil (follow the instruction on the box). Finely grate the orange peel (reserve a little bit of zest to garnish, if wanted). If wanted, you can toss 3/4 cup of blueberries in a little bit of flour and incorporate delicately to the dough with the zest.
- Distribute the dough in 18 greased muffin tins. Distribute 1/2 cup of blueberries on each cupcake. Cook in the center of a preheated oven of 325 F for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, press the orange to obtain 1/4 cup of juice. In a small saucepan, bring to boil the orange juice and remaining of blueberries. Reduce heat and let simmer 5 minutes (add sugar if wanted, but just a little bit). Let cool. Serve the cupcakes with the blueberry syrup and garnish with orange zest if wanted.

What a great recipe Boomie, thanks so much for sharing this gem. It is my favorite recipe of the month so far. Beautiful cupcakes, tall, tender, moist and full of flavor. I used orange juice in place of the water for a much bolder taste, so glad that I did, it worked perfectly in this recipe. The blueberry syrup was the bomb and made the cupcakes something special. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I have added to my favorites for 2012. Made for Aussie Swap 60.

I had some issues with these but they were very yummy anyway! I got 24 cupcakes...and actually should have made more because I overfilled them and most looked like a mess. They tasted delicious. The blueberry and the orange together was great. I didn't have leftover blueberries for the glaze, since it made more cupcakes, but I just reduce down the orange juice with a tiny bit of sugar. Overall a very tasty little cupcake! Thanks for posting. Made for Photo Tag.

These are very good! I did not make the glaze/garnish because I wanted these more as a muffin and less of a cupcake :) Next time I will use a little bit of orange extract to make them a little more orange-y. Of course this problem would probably have been solved if I had made the glaze! Thanks! [Made for Newest Zaar]
