How to Make Oozy Orange Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the orange zest, orange juice, and food coloring.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about halfway.
  8. Spoon a generous amount of the orange mixture into the center of each cupcake.
  9. Top with the remaining batter, ensuring the orange filling is mostly covered.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, frost with your favorite orange buttercream frosting (recipe not included) and decorate as desired for a frightfully fun Halloween treat!
