Friday Foodie - Orange Cupcakes


I'm a huge fan of citrus flavoured desserts and sweets. In fact I find them so hard to resist that I am indulging in an orange cupcake as I type this post - it's very hard to eat & type you know!

These cupcakes, are super simple to make, have a light texture and are bursting with orange flavour - naturally!

Cupcakes Use:

Cupcakes Do:



At this point, don't be tempted to eat all the mixture, a little bit on the tip of your finger is quite okay!



Don't they just look dreamy already?

If you can resist, allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

While time ticks away, get cracking with the icing.

Icing Use:


Icing Do:
1. Sift icing sugar into medium bowl
2. Add butter and smoosh it into the icing sugar with the back of a spoon
3. Add zest and a little orange juice at a time, stirring well after each addition, until it becomes a spreadable consistency
4. Spread onto cooled cupcakes.  Refrigerate until set.

Feel free to embellish the tops of your cupcakes with any goodies your heart desires.

Enjoy with a freshly brewed cup of coffee!
