Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 drop Orange food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring for a vibrant color.
8. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the whipped cream mixture. Enjoy!
