Orange spice cupcakes
Yield 24 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- zest of 1 orange, approximately 1 Tbsp.
- 5 eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
- 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- Citrus Cream Frosting
- Orange Zest and ground cinnamon for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide 24 cupcake papers between two cupcake pans, placing one paper into each cup.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixture to cream together brown sugar, butter and orange zest until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, measure flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Whisk to combine and to eliminate any possible lumps.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the sugar mixture, mixing between each addition, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Mix batter just until thoroughly combined. Spoon cake batter into cupcake papers, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean of any wet or gooey batter. Cool completely before frosting. If desired, frost and garnish with a bit of orange zest and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
