How to Make Blueberry And Orange Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with 18 cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare the cake batter according to package directions. Add 1 cup water, 2 large eggs and 1/3 cup vegetable oil to the dry cake mix. Mix until smooth.
  3. Finely grate the zest of 1 orange. (Approximately 1 tablespoon)
  4. Gently fold in the orange zest into the batter.
  5. In a small bowl, toss 3/4 cup fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  6. Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
  8. Top each cupcake with 1 tablespoon of fresh blueberries.
  9. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the syrup: Juice 1 orange to yield 1/4 cup of juice. Combine the orange juice with the remaining 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries in a small saucepan.
  11. Bring the blueberry-orange mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and released their juices.
  12. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  13. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, drizzle the blueberry syrup over the top. Garnish with extra orange zest, if desired.
