Orange Marmalade Ricotta Cupcake

1 (18.25-ounce) package plain white or yellow cake mix*


1 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice, divided

2/3 cup ricotta cheese

1/3 cup orange marmalade

1/3 cup vegetable oil

4 large eggs

Marmalade Buttercream Frosting


1. Preheat oven to 350°. Insert paper liners into 20 muffin cups; set aside.



2. Beat cake mix, 1 cup orange juice, and next 5 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer until combined. Scrape sides of bowl with spatula, and beat at medium speed 2 minutes or until batter is thick and well combined. Spoon about 1/3 cup batter into each liner.



3. Bake at 350° for 18 to 22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.



4. Brush tops of warm cupcakes evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Let cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.



5. Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of Marmalade Buttercream Frosting on each cupcake. Store at room temperature in an airtight container up to 3 days, up to a week in refrigerator, or (unfrosted) up to 6 months in freezer.
