Homemade Orange Cupcakes

This Orange Cupcakes has been my family’s favorite for 3 years. You can serve the oranges with orange icing.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup (227grams/4 Oz) butter, softened

3/4 cup (150grams/ 5.3Oz) sugar

Zest of 2 oranges

2 eggs

1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream (non-fat, light or regular)

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1-1/2 cup (204grams/7.2Oz) flour

1 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. baking soda

METHOD:

Cream the butter, sugar and orange zest on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time. Then add the sour cream and orange juice.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a small bowl.

Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans. Bake for 18 minutes. Let cupcakes sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.

Glaze or dust with powdered sugar and serve. 

Enjoy your Homemade Orange Cupcakes.
