A traditional treat served for Chanukah is Sufganiyot, jelly-filled doughnuts. I’ll be attempting my first batch of Sufganiyot later this week. But until then, these delicious cupcakes are making our taste buds quite happy. And they’re pretty, to boot!

A delicious {and pretty!} play on traditional jelly-filled fried doughnuts.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 large organic eggs
- 1 cup organic sugar
- 1/3 cup organic coconut oil (or other oil suitable for baking)
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
- 1 cup organic soy milk
- 1 tsp organic orange zest
- 2 TB organic, fresh squeezed orange juice
- Jam of your choice {I used ED Smith’s peach, mango, and orange fruit spread}
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl sift flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another medium bowl, beat eggs. Then add sugar, oil, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk together, then mix in the milk.
- Gradually add flour mixture to the liquid mixture, stirring as you go.
- Fill the liners one-quarter of the way with batter. Add a tablespoon of jam in the center of the batter. Top off with enough batter so the liners are three-quarters of the way full.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
Chag Chanukah Sameach!
