Arizona is full-on spring time! The citrus trees’ produce is perfect for picking. We keep going to my parents citrus orchard (really it’s just their backyard but they have plenty of trees!) and picking bags of citrus. So I’ve been trying to make as many different citrus-y things as I can. Did you see my orange and lemon rolls?
A fantastic recipe to bake inside of citrus is cake! I grew up doing this at camp.
1. Cut off top of fruit.
2. Take flesh out of fruit (then eat the flesh or juice it).
3. Fill fruit shell halfway with cake batter.
4. Put top/lid back on and put into muffin tin.
5. Cook as directed for cupcakes.
6. Either eat with a spoon, or peel the citrus skin away (kind of hard to do).
7. Enjoy!
We used to make these at camp. You make the batter and fill them while at home. Then when they are filled with the cake batter you cover each fruit tightly with tin foil. Keep these in the cooler until you are making dinner. Throw these into the fire while cooking your dinner. They take a little longer than cupcakes would. I think they are best done this way. Isn’t everything yummier when cooked by a fire?
This is a great project to do with your kids. You cut the tops off and let your kids pull the flesh out. We then ran all the flesh through the juicer and enjoyed our juice while the cupcakes were baking.
The cake totally takes on a citrus-y flavor that is awesome! And they cook up super moist!
We made these in oranges and lemons. We also used chocolate and vanilla cake batter. All 4 variations were delish!
Try this and let me know what you think!
I’m still searching for more recipes using citrus. Please let me know and I will post a list!
