Ingredients for the batter:

  • 10 oz of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 4 oz of unsalted, softened butter
  • 6 oz of sugar

Ingredients for the jelly:

  • 10 oz fruit juice (whichever flavor you like)
  • 1 oz of gelatin
  • 17 oz cups sugar
  • 17 oz fruit preserves or jam (whichever flavor you like)

Preparation for the cupcakes batter:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and start combining in a medium bowl all the dry ingredients except for the sugar (flour, baking powder, salt). Set aside the flour mix.
  2. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer (medium-high speed) for about 5 minutes, until thick and fluffy.
  3. o the butter and sugar mix, start adding one egg at a time, beating well in between. Add the vanilla extract and combine.
  4. Reducing the mixer’s speed, start adding a bit of flour, alternating it with the buttermilk. Careful not to over-beat!
  5. Pour the cupcake butter in 12 baking cups, filling 2/3 full.
  6. Bake the cupcakes for 20/25 minutes until well cooked. TIPS: insert a toothpick in one cupcake, if the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready!

Preparation for the fruit jellies:

  1. Place 2/3 of the juice in a bowl, sprinkle with the gelatin, and let it sit for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining juice and 1 ½ cup of the sugar.
  2. Bring the juice and sugar mix to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the preserves and whisk to combine. Return to a boil and cook until thick and syrupy.
  3. Add the gelatin mixture and whisk until the gelatin dissolves. Pour the combined mixture through a fine mesh, sieve into a silicone heart-shaped mold and refrigerate 3 hours.
  4. When the jellies are ready, pour them into a bowl and coat them with the remaining sugar.
