Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 21

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying liners
2 cups cake flour
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 egg whites
1 egg
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
Zest of 1 lemon
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 pound confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest (from about 1 large orange)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • For the cupcake batter: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners (for a total of 24 cupcakes); lightly spray the liners with cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix together the cake flour, granulated sugar, almond meal, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and mix until crumbly in appearance, about 1 minute. Add the egg whites and whole egg and mix on medium until fluffy, about 1 minute. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, orange juice, vanilla extract, almond extract and lemon zest. Mix approximately a third of the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Continue two more times with the remaining wet ingredients, beating for 1 minute between additions.
  • Scoop one scoop of the batter into each cupcake liner. Bake until the cupcakes bounce back from gentle pressure, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pans and cool.
  • For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until completely combined and free of lumps, about 2 minutes. On the lowest speed, slowly add the confectioners' sugar and mix until combined, about 1 minute. Add the orange zest and juice, vanilla extract and salt and mix on medium speed until light and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • To assemble, frost the cooled cupcakes with the citrus frosting using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.

These cupcakes are a bit dry. I would recommend adding more butter or oil to the batter.

I found the glaze to be a bit too thick. I would recommend using less powdered sugar.

I made these cupcakes gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They were still delicious!
