2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup plum puree (made from ripe plums)
½ cup whole milk (or almond milk)

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add half of the dry mix to the butter mixture followed by half of the milk. Repeat until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Fold in Plum Puree: Gently fold in the plum puree until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Cool and Frost: Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting with your favorite icing or whipped cream.
