1

Prepare the Dragonfruit

Cut the dragonfruit in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Mash the flesh in a bowl until smooth.

2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3

Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This may take a few minutes, so take a break and imagine yourself soaring through a magical forest.

4

Add the Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is well combined. It should look like a unicorn's mane!

5

Alternate Mixing

Slowly add the dry ingredients and the dragonfruit puree to the butter mixture, alternating between the two. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, or the cupcakes may turn out tough instead of fluffy.

6

Fill the Cupcake Liners

Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each one about three-quarters full with the batter. This is your chance to be an artist – you can make them perfectly even or mix it up and create unique shapes!

7

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled cupcake tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While they're baking, practice your best fairy dance moves!

8

Let Them Cool

Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience, my friend, your journey to fairy cupcake bliss is almost complete!

9

Add the Finishing Touch

Time to transform your plain cupcakes into dazzling fairy treats! Decorate them with a sprinkle of edible glitter, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a small dragonfruit slice on top. The sky's the limit!
