Tips:

  • For a zesty marmalade buttercream frosting, use a high-quality orange marmalade. Look for a marmalade with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Avoid marmalades that are too sweet or too bitter.
  • To make the cupcakes extra moist, use freshly squeezed orange juice. The natural oils in the orange juice will help to keep the cupcakes moist and flavorful.
  • If you don't have any ricotta cheese on hand, you can substitute it with cream cheese. However, ricotta cheese will give the cupcakes a lighter and fluffier texture.
  • For a gluten-free version of these cupcakes, use gluten-free flour. You can also use almond flour or coconut flour, but you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
  • To make the cupcakes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, frost the cupcakes and enjoy.

Conclusion:

Orange marmalade ricotta cupcakes with marmalade buttercream frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With their moist and fluffy texture, zesty orange flavor, and creamy frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you're making them for a special occasion or just because you're craving something sweet, these cupcakes are sure to satisfy.
