How to Make Orange Marmalade Ricotta Cupcakes W Marmalade Buttercream Fros
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 20-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white or yellow cake mix, 1 cup orange juice, 1 (15 ounce) container of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, or until the batter is thick and well combined.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into each prepared muffin liner.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, frost each cupcake with about 1 heaping tablespoon of marmalade buttercream frosting.
