Time 1h40m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup fresh orange juice (from about
2 oranges)
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
1 drop red food coloring (optional)
Store-bought candied orange zest, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium low; slowly beat in the melted butter, then add the orange zest and vanilla.
  • Beat in the flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; beat until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds of the way. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: Bring the orange juice to a boil in a saucepan; reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced to1 1/2 tablespoons, about 8 minutes. Let cool.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the butter, a little at a time, until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low; sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla, the cooled orange syrup, orange zest and food coloring and beat on medium speed until combined. Refrigerate until spreadable, about 15 minutes. Spread the frosting on the cupcakes; top with candied orange zest.

ORANGE KISS-ME CUPCAKES



Orange Kiss-Me Cupcakes image

These cupcakes are delicious. They are light and airy tasting with just the right amount of orange flavoring. Originally this recipe called for a traditional, thick butter orange frosting, but I prefer it with just a glaze (saves on the calories a little, too).

RETRO ORANGE KISS-ME CAKE



Retro Orange Kiss-Me Cake image

This cake took the country by storm in 1950 when it won the second Pillsbury Bake-Off. Lily Wuebel of Redwood City pocketed $25,000 for her winning creation. Here it is. From Pillsbury.

Provided by BecR2400

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 orange
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup walnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine, softened (or butter or shortening)
2 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice, reserved from orange used in cake
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-inch pan.
  • Squeeze orange, reserving 1/3 cup juice for topping; remove seeds. In blender container, food processor bowl with metal blade, or food mill, grind orange peel and pulp, raisins and 1/3 cup walnuts. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and all remaining cake ingredients at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in orange-raisin mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Drizzle reserved 1/3 cup orange juice over warm cake in pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup walnuts; sprinkle over cake. Cool 1 hour, or until completely cooled.
  • Time does not include cooling time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for these cupcakes. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled or frozen orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Zest your oranges: The zest of an orange is the outermost layer of the peel. It contains a lot of flavor, so it's important to zest your oranges before juicing them. To zest an orange, use a microplane or a fine grater.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cupcakes light and fluffy. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps to dissolve the sugar, which will prevent the cupcakes from being grainy.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cupcakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cupcakes are done baking. If the toothpick comes out with batter still on it, the cupcakes need to bake for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

These Orange Kiss Me Cupcakes are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are light, fluffy, and full of orange flavor. The orange glaze adds a delicious finishing touch. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
