Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Stone and roughly chop the plums, leaving the skins on for flecks of color. Set aside.
- In a double boiler, melt the white chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the melted white chocolate and chopped plums.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- You can substitute the plums with other stone fruits like apricots or nectarines.
