    Baking the Cupcakes

    1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and prepare mini cupcake tins with liners.
    2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
    3. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, combine sugar, olive oil, orange juice, zest, and yogurt until well mixed.
    4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
    5. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until few lumps remain, being cautious not to overbeat.
    6. Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full and bake for about 10 minutes.
    7. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before filling or frosting.
    1. With a stand mixer or an electric mixer, beat room temperature butter until incorporated.
    2. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until well combined.
    3. While the mixer is running, stream in white wine and pear brandy to reach the desired consistency.
    4. Adjust the frosting thickness by adding more wine or pear brandy as needed.
    5. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag for decoration if desired.

    Best Practices for Serving

    When serving sangria cupcakes, it’s best to present them on a decorative platter to showcase their vibrant colors and fruity toppings. Ensure they are at room temperature for the best taste experience. Consider pairing them with a chilled glass of sangria for a complete indulgence.

    Storage Tips

    To maintain the freshness of your sangria cupcakes, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as they can alter the flavor and texture. Cupcakes can be refrigerated for up to three days, but it’s recommended to bring them to room temperature before serving for optimal taste.

Whether enjoyed at room temperature or paired with a chilled glass of sangria, these cupcakes are sure to impress your taste buds. Remember to store them properly in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and savor the flavors for days to come.
