Ingredients
  

For the Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 clementines peeled and cut in 3 slices (cross section cuts)

For the Cake:

  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup clementine juice (or orange)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade to drizzle over top (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spoon a teaspoon of melted butter into each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin. Use a brush to lightly grease the sides a bit to prevent sticking.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of brown sugar into each muffin cup. Place the sliced clementine into each muffin cup.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and blend until it is light and fluffy.
  • Add the juice and remaining cake ingredients and blend until they are combined.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then invert on a rack to cool completely.
  • Heat marmalade in a saucepan until it thins out a bit. Drizzle a teaspoon over top of each cupcake. (This step is optional).
