Description

So easy and so delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • ⅔ cups Sugar
  • 1-½ cup Self-Rising Flour
  • ½ cups Orange Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons Orange Zest
  • FOR FROSTING:
  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin. In a bowl on low speed, beat the first stick of butter, sugar, self-rising flour*, juice, vanilla and eggs. Once combined, increase speed and mix for 2 minutes, until batter is smooth and pale. Stir in orange zest and spoon into prepared tin. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.

For frosting, cream the second stick of butter by itself. Then add half of the powdered sugar and all the juice. Add the rest of the powdered sugar. Spread on cooled cupcakes and decorate with extra zest.

* Self-rising flour is different from all-purpose flour. You can buy it or to make it by simply sifting together 2 teaspoons of baking powder with each cup of all-purpose flour.

I just made these and they are soooo good! I botched the icing though. I have no idea how it happened, it is just runny and not set at all. But they are so good on their own. Thanks!
