How to Make Plum Cupcake
Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees or 170 C degrees. Line a muffin tin with muffin cups and set them aside.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk them together and set them aside.
In another mixing bowl, beat in the butter alongside with brown sugar until fluffy and combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time beating well between each addition. Add in the oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix well and with the help of an ice cream scoop, scoop out of the batter and feel each muffin cup ¾ of the way full. Arrange some sliced ripe plums on top and bake the muffins for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
