Menu
200 g butter
170 g caster sugar
2 eggs
195 g plain four
1 dl gingerbread or other cookie crumbs
45 g ground almonds
50 g breadcrumbs, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp baking powder
100 ml cream
2 tbsp Aperol
50 ml orange juice
1 tsp cardamom
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
For drenching
100 ml orange juice
50 ml Aperol
For topping
2 dl blood orange and Aperol jam (see recipe below)
For icing
1 egg white
90 g powdered sugar
Blood orange and Aperol jam
4 medium to large blood oranges
200 ml water
340 g jam sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tbsp Aperol
Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture one at a time.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cookie crumbs, almonds, breadcrumbs and baking powder, then add to the egg mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Grease the inside of a muffin tin (12) cup and dust with breadcrumbs. Pour in the batter and bake on the middle rack for about 50 minutes.
Let the cupcakes cool slightly, then turn out onto a serving plate. After it is completely cooled, mix together the orange juice and Aperol and pour over. The cupcakes can then be left to sit for a couple of hours or overnight in the fridge to let the flavours develop.
Spread the blood orange and Aperol jam in a circle on top of the cupcakes, but not all the way to the edge.
Mix together the egg white and powdered sugar to make a thick paste. Fill a Maku piping bag with the icing and pipe as much as you like around the perimeter of the jam circle.
Blood orange and Aperol jam
Peel the oranges and chop the segments. Place in a saucepan with the water and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and use a stick blender to purée the mixture. Place the saucepan back on low heat and stir in the jam sugar thoroughly. Last add the vanilla sugar and the Aperol and let simmer for 10 minutes. Pour into heated, sterile glass jars and immediately seal. Let cool, then refrigerate.
