orange butter cupcakes 香橙奶油蛋糕

Is been a long time I did not bake any orange flavour cakes. Every time I cut an orange I will think of what a waste to throw the orange peel because I love to smell the orange peel so much. 
My husband also started to complain that I didn't bake for him any orange cake anymore! So I bake it today to satisfy him. Like father, my son also love this orange cupcakes.


Anyway, I do not like to use artificial flavour and this is the best and natural flavour you can have it easily to make cakes. Others flavour is lemon and pandan leaves. I should try it in my next cakes recipe!

 

This is how it looks like when I scoop in the batter. Unlike chiffon cake, you don't need to spread it level before put into oven. The batter will soon get level later.
