Orange Cupcakes

all purpose flour

unsalted butter

orange zest (from about 2 large or 3 medium oranges)

eggs (at room temperature)

vanilla extract

sour cream

orange juice (from about 1 large or 2 medium oranges)

sugar (240 grams)

unsalted butter (115 grams)

orange zest (from one large orange or two medium)

orange juice

heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), or 160°C for a fan oven, and line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, butter and orange zest until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.

Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the sour cream and orange juice and gently stir to combine.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the cupcakes:

In a large bowl add half the powdered sugar, butter and orange zest and mix until smooth. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix well.

Add the orange juice and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the heavy cream as needed and mix to achieve desired consistency.

Pipe or spread over the cooled cupcakes.

butter (softened)

tsp vanilla extract

Tbsp orange zest

all-purpose flour

milk

confectioner's sugar

Tbsp half and half

Orange food coloring/gel (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a stand mixer or bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.

Next, add the egg, sour cream, vanilla and orange zest and mix.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt baking soda and baking powder.

Add the dry ingredients and the milk into the batter and mix until fully combined.

Pour the batter into your lined cupcake tin about ¾ of the way full.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the cupcakes have cooked and a toothpick comes out clean. Note cupcakes will be lighter in color.

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the buttercream frosting.

In a medium bowl beat together the butter, vanilla and orange juice.

Next, add the confectioner’s sugar until the frosting has thickened. You want a thick, firm frosting to hold up on the cupcakes. If needed add additional powdered sugar.

Next, add in the orange food gel, if using, and half and half and mix until everything has combined, frosting should be smooth but hold its shape.

Then, using a thick piping tip, pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake, a top with a small slice of orange and enjoy!
