Zubereitung von Fresh Orange Cupcakes With Orange Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 18-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or orange extract) to the dry ingredients. Beat for 1 minute with an electric mixer.
- Stir in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 3 large egg yolks. Beat for another minute.
- In a separate bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, the zest of 1 orange, and 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add more powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in a few drops of orange food coloring, if desired.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously. Sprinkle with orange sprinkles, if desired.
