Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Zest of 2 oranges. 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice. 1/2 cup buttermilk. Orange food coloring optional. For the frosting:. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 2 cups powdered sugar. 2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice. Orange zest for garnish optional.
Instructions: Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk. Put away. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. This is where the vanilla extract and orange zest come in. Freshly squeezed orange juice and buttermilk should be mixed together. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, three parts at a time, mixing them in between adding the orange juice and buttermilk mixture. Put the dry ingredients in first and end with them. Don't mix any further than that. If you want the cupcakes to be a certain shade of orange, you can add a few drops of orange food coloring. To make the color even, mix. Fill up each liner about two thirds of the way to the top with cupcake batter in the cupcake pan that has been prepared. In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. For the frosting, beat the butter until it is smooth and creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice while beating the frosting until it is smooth and well mixed. Ice the cupcakes with the orange frosting as soon as they are cool. A piping bag can be used to add some style. If you want, add orange zest as a garnish. Serve your tasty Orange Bowling Cake cupcakes and enjoy them!
