12 servings

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.66666668653488 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons orange extract
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 orange, peeled and sliced
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease with butter.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add milk, vanilla extract, and orange extract slowly.
  • Pour batter evenly into the prepared tin.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Beat butter for frosting with a mixer on high speed; mix in powdered sugar. Add heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time. Add orange extract and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Frost cooled cupcakes.
  • Combine orange, orange juice, cornstarch, and powdered sugar for glaze in a saucepan. Stir until all lumps are gone. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, stirring every few seconds, for 5 minutes. Strain orange out of the glaze into a container. Pour a little glaze over each frosted cupcake.
