"Since I was a kid, my family has competed in food competitions at the Texas State Fair. I have a basic cupcake recipe from my grandmother and I change the flavor every year. Orange and vanilla is my showstopper -- the combination reminds me of buying Creamsicles in the summer," says Emily.

Time 1h30m

Yield about 18

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange oil (available at specialty stores)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges)
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
Orange and/or white sanding sugar, for topping
Orange gummy candies, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes; set aside.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar, egg yolks, orange zest and orange oil in a separate large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the orange juice. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: Beat the butter and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Add the milk, increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy. Frost the cupcakes. Top with sanding sugar and orange gummy candies.
  • Orange oil gives the cupcakes an intense orange flavor that you can?t get from just extract or zest.

CREAMCICLE CUPCAKE.

Ok, so most of you remember what it's like to eat those yummy orange ice cream bars with the creamy white filling. Well I tired to combine this into a cup cake. Yes, a cupcake. Although it doesn't taste EXACTLY like one, it's still pretty darn good and it has some of the exact flavorings. It's a new media for the standard cup...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 box duncun hines orange sumpreme
1 small box vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
1/2 c oil
1/2 c orange juice
1 c milk
1 small box orange jello
1/2 c hot water
1/2 c cold water
2 c whipping cream
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 - 3/4 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In your bowl add the cake mix, eggs, oil, milk, pudding and oj. Mix well. Add about 1 to 1/2 tablespoons of batter into each cupcake liner and bake at 325 degrees until done about 16-20 minutes.
  • 2. While cupcakes are baking, in a clean cold bowl add in the whipping cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar and slowly mix with your mixture. Then increase the speed and keep whisking until the cream is thick and fluffy. You may add in more sugar depending on how sweet you want it. I felt it needed more sugar. Store in fridge until needed.
  • 3. When cupcakes are cool, poke holes into the top of each cupcake. Then in a small bowl place the orange jello, hot and cold water and mix until dissolved. Then spoon a small amount into the holes, being careful not to overflow the cupcake.
  • 4. Top with a dollop of the whip cream and there you go, the closest form of a creamcicle cup cake you'll ever get.
  • 5. Final note- These are made with homemade whipped cream. There is a BIG difference in taste. Do not take the easy route out and buy the frozen or canned junk. Once you have homemade, you never go back! Also the topping will melt, so don't top these until you need them but they will last about an hour or so. What I do it make the cupcakes, place them in a ziplock bag and then top them as needed with the topping that I keep in the fridge.

Tips and Conclusion

  • Mise en place: Before starting, measure and gather all ingredients and utensils. This will help ensure a smooth and successful baking process.
  • Room temperature ingredients: For best results, bring your dairy ingredients to room temperature before mixing. This will help them incorporate more evenly into the batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cupcake. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light, creamy, and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly: Use a kitchen scale or ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time may vary depending on the size of your cupcakes. Start checking them after the minimum baking time indicated in the recipe.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cupcakes.
  • Enjoy your Creamsicle Cupcakes! These cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion.
