Orange Cupcakes
(Makes about 10-12 Cupcakes depending on the size of your cupcake liners)
1-1/4 cup of plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter
3/4 castor sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup of freshly squeezed orange(I used 1/2 large orange)
Method
Sift flour & baking powder and set aside
Cream butter & sugar until light & fluffy using hand whisk
Add the eggs slowly in batches to the wet mixture and mix well
Add in vanilla essence and mix well again
Next add in your dry ingredients little at a time and alternate with the orange juice and mix well throughly.
Bake in oven at 150deg for about 10mins or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting into a few cupcakes (random QC checks)
After that, let the cupcakes cool and you are ready to enjoy it with a cup of aromatic coffee ☕!
Orange Buttercream Recipe
Ingredients
225g unsalted butter (room temp)
2 cups of icing sugar (Mental note to myself: Half the sugar, it's really sweet even to someone who has a sweet tooth!) So for those who doesn't have, I will
strongly advised that you use only 1 to 1.5 cups of Icing Sugar here)
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Cream the butter until light and fluffy
Add in the sugar batch by batch and mix well
Then add in the vanilla essence
Continue to hand whisk or on low speed if you are using a mixer.
When the mixture is smooth and creamy, you are done!
This is a basic buttercream recipe that you can edit to become whatever flavors that you want.
For me, I added few drops of orange food coloring (Redman) which has a nice orangey smell. Add until you get the color that you want.
You can store your frosted cupcakes in the fridge and take out 20-30 mins before eating so the cream would have melted just nicely! Cheers!
