Now what would a party be without a cupcake?  So my blogoversary week long celebration continues today with a cupcake recipe.  I absolutely love the recipe I have on my site for the lemon cupcakes with lemon buttercream.  So with my love for citrus lately when I saw a recipe over at Canela and Comino for fresh orange cupcakes I had to try it.  I decided to top them of with my version of an orange buttercream frosting. 

I was hoping for the crumb in the cake to be similar to the lemon cupcakes.  However, this cupcakes was a little more like a muffin consistency.  So I thought they were good, but not knock your socks off.  I think the lemon cake has spoiled me now.  I think I am going to try to take elements from the lemon cupcakes and elements from the orange cupcake and try to make a moister version.  However, this cake was still great, I was just hoping for a moister cake than this gave.  The orange buttercream frosting, however, turned out perfect.

Now for today’s giveaway. 

When I make cupcakes I decorate them using The Best Ever Cupcake Icing Kit from Bake It Pretty. I love it and love their site.  And for my blogoversary celebration Bake It Pretty will give one of you a $25 gift card to purchase whatever you would like from their site.  I do though highly recommend The Best Ever Cupcake Icing Kit, but they have a lot of wonderful things to make whatever you bake “pretty” including cute liners.

So to enter today’s giveaway please visit the Bake It Pretty site and then come back here and leave a comment telling me what you would get from Bake It Pretty if you were the winner.  You have until 10 pm (MST)  tonight to enter.  I will announce the winner in tomorrows post and notify the winner by email.

Fresh Orange Cupcakes with Orange Buttercream Frosting


  • Author: Laura

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package of yellow cake mix
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of orange zest
  • 1 cup of orange juice
  • 1/2 cup of canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • Frosting:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, very soft
  • 68 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/41/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sugar, and orange zest. Whisk to combine. Add orange juice, canola oil, vanilla extract and eggs. Blend with the mixer on low speed for one minute, then speed it up to medium and beat for 2 more minutes.
  2. Fill cupcake papers about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake at 350F until golden in color and a toothpick test comes out clean, about 22-25 minutes.
  3. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  4. For the frosting: Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar, then 1/4 cup of the juice and the zest. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, until icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency (I added 6 cups total). Add more orange juice as needed.   Use and store at room temperature. (Don’t refrigerate and it will last in a covered container for about three days.)

I make a citrus cake that sounds similar. I use a yellow cake mix and add a can of mandarin oranges. I replace the oil that is called for with the orange juice from can. It is wonderfully moist and may work really well with the frosting. I use a whipped cream/pudding frosting with pineapple on my cake, but I bet the orange butter cream would be sooo yummy!

Putting your freshly baked cupecakes into some nice wrappers certainly finishes them off. However to make them extra special there is nothing like making your very own cupcake wrappers. These can be personalised to the individual and the event, plus they are so easy to make. I share my free templates over at https://bestcupcakewrappers.com.

I also had a similar problem- my frosting was wasy too creamy. I added SO MUCH more powdered sugar, and when I started frosting the cakes the icing was thick and dense. But as I started icing more and more, the icing started to melt. The leftover icing in the bowl is literally melting infront of my eyes. What did I do wrong??

I made these cupcakes for a springtime-themed baby shower this weekend. They were completely delicious and got rave reviews. They were light and bright and so much better for a spring theme than, say, chocolate. The frosting will go with any color scheme, because it has the orange zest rather than food coloring. I put pink bows on toothpicks in them for decoration. This recipe is a real keeper!

I just want to say thank you for the icing recipe.It taste really good.Although i think i did something wrong,as simple as it looks to foollow.It turned out really creamy,i dont know how to make it thicker.To look like your photo atleast.Im trying to get that consistency.I used confectioners sugar,(I dont know if thats what you ment by,powdered sugar. 🙂 ) Im trying to learn all these things that have to do with baking and i really dont want to give up.Especially with cakes and cookies and cupcakes…….But thanks for sharing.

Monicka April 6, 2011 - 2:55 pm

If u want the icing a little thicker just add some more confectioners sugar. It is the same thing as powdered sugar. I have a page with cupcakes that i sell. That is what i do with mine is add more powdered sugar. If you would be interested in seeing my page it is Monicka’s Mini Creations on facebook. Have a great day.

Oh my! I wish I’d seen all this before my daughter’s birthday…last week! I could buy anything and everything but I think I really fell in love with the Midnight Stars Cupcake Wrappers and lots of sprinkles. My parents used to make over 200 dozen cookies every Christmas and the whole family would decorate cookies together. My children love to do the same thing (although we don’t make quite so many cookies!) We would have sprinkles of every type we could find but there would never enough. I would love to finally have enough sprinkles and the Midnight Stars Cupcake Wrappers are lovely and sometimes it’s nice to just have something lovely around.

What a fun website! I had to look at everything and now I want everything. But if I had to shoose just one thing, I would get the Americolor gel kit # 2.

I would need to get the icing kit to start me off on the right foot!

The Icing kit for sure and then I would have to add in some of the edible glitter. Any cupcake would look even better with glitter.

I would definitely get the pastry bag with decorating tips. Those cupcake liners are adorable too. I probably would spend more than the 25.00!

I’ve been looking for a good decorating kit so I too would take your advice, but then I’d also get the gel food coloring kit because homebased mom recommends using gel coloring in frostings.

Definitely the Best Ever Cupcake Decorating Kit and the heart shaped egg and pancake shaper! Now that I’ve been to that site, I want everything they have!
