Orange cupcakes

Orange Cupcakes

These orange cupcakes are eggless and butterless but still soft and spongy , they are so light and airy that I couldn’t believe that it is made with whole wheat flour. This is orange season and we get real fresh juicy oranges in plenty. So I wanted to try orange cakes and cookies.

I found this  recipe and was tempted to try it immediately. I increased the measurements of the ingredients to get more cup cakes, and I was really surprised with the outcome. My family enjoyed it a lot. I served it for some guests at home and they were also surprised to know that it was made with whole wheat flour, it came out so soft and spongy. Please try it out and enjoy!!

Eggless Butterless Whole Wheat Orange Cupcakes

Recipe Cuisine: International | Recipe Category: Cakes | Makes : 12 cupcakes
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Total time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

  • Oranges – 5  small
  • Whole wheat flour – 300 grams
  • Granulated Sugar — 150 grams
  • Oil  – 75 ml
  • Corn flour – 1.5 tbsp
  • Baking soda – 1 tsp
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp
  • salt – a pinch

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line the cup cake liners in the muffin tray.
  2. Grate the peel of 1 or 2 oranges and save the orange zest. Grate only the orange peel not the inner white skin.
  3. Peel and grind the oranges and filter out the juice, add water if needed, to make 1 cup of orange juice.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat sugar and oil together till the sugar completely dissolves. Add the orange juice and orange zest and mix well.
  5. Sieve the dry ingredients together: Sieve whole wheat flour, corn flour, baking soda , baking powder and salt together for 3 to 4 times from a height of atleast 1 feet from the ground. This step is very important to get the cup cakes light and airy.
  6. Slowly , little by little add the dry ingredients into the orange juice and sugar mixture and fold in till everything is mixed up.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared liners and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a tooth prick inserted into it comes out clean.
