Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange food coloring, and enough heavy cream to achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes.
-
Optional: Garnish with orange zest.
-
Allow the glaze to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
