I spotted these cute Bageforme baking cups on my recent holiday and bought them without much hesitation. Bageforme is Danish for bakeware. A box of 12 costs two Euro. Coming back to the cupcakes. These orange zesty cupcakes are soft and moist and to me they taste a bit like sponge cake. I dressed some up with butter icing and if you are not a fan of buttery icing, they are also delicious, even eaten on its own.
Ingredients
- 90 gm plain flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 'L' egg
- 55 gm caster sugar
- 85 gm butter, melted
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup milk
- 80 gm butter
- 123 gm icing sugar, sifted
- Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- With a handheld whisk, on medium speed, beat egg with sugar till fluffy, pale and thick.
- Reduce speed, add in melted butter, zest and vanilla.
- Sift in the flour again alternating with milk ,whisk on low till just combined. You can also opt to mix in by hand. (Do not overmix).
- Divide batter into the cup cake liners.
- Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 18 to 20 mins. till golden brown, test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the cupcake liners, on a wire rack.
- Yield : 5 cupcakes
The baking cups sure are pretty and suit your orange cupcakes very well!
