Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup Mixed fresh fruits (e.g., diced strawberries, blueberries, diced kiwis)
• 0.5 cups Chopped dried fruits (e.g., raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the mixed fresh fruits and chopped dried fruits gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, top with whipped cream or a light glaze before serving.
