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!
