How to Make Coconut Orange Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 24 paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup fresh mandarin orange juice until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup mandarin orange segments and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full.
- For the topping (optional): Combine ¼ cup shredded sweetened coconut, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the cupcakes.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
