Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield about 18

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange oil (available at specialty stores)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges)
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
Orange and/or white sanding sugar, for topping
Orange gummy candies, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes; set aside.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar, egg yolks, orange zest and orange oil in a separate large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the orange juice. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

Let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.

Reduce the speed to low; gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Add the milk, increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy. Frost the cupcakes. Top with sanding sugar and orange gummy candies.
  • Orange oil gives the cupcakes an intense orange flavor that you can?t get from just extract or zest.

Time 1h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 20

cooking spray
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons grated orange zest
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
20 large strips orange peel, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 20 standard-sized muffin cups with muffin liners and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Mix butter for cupcakes in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and beat for 2 more minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition until incorporated. Mix in orange zest.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk, beating batter briefly after each addition. Mix in orange juice. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups until they are about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put a mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove bowl from the freezer and add heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla for filling. Whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (make sure they don't fall over), 3 to 5 minutes. Don't overmix or your whipped cream will start separating and turning into butter. Put filling in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Cream softened butter for frosting with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in powdered sugar. Beat for 2 minutes. Mix in milk, vanilla, and salt.
  • Use a serrated knife to make a 3/4-inch hole in the center of each cooled cupcake. Fill the holes with filling and frost the tops with frosting. Garnish each cupcake with an orange peel.
