Yesterday I tried this recipe I found on taste.com.au. The recipes calls for a cupcake with a topping but i skipped the topping because in my house we prefer a simple plain cake.
It is the fasting month, so I didn't get to savour the cake hot from the oven. I ate them after breaking fast and I am so happy with the result. To me it looks more like a muffin, with the dome cracked top. But the taste is simply amazing. The orange taste is just perfect. I gave a piece to everyone in the family. They all loved it. Even daddy complimented the cupcake although he is not a cake person actually.
I am going to put the recipe here so that I can find it easily the next time I want to bake it.

| The ingredients. |
The ingredients:
2 cups of self raising flour
3/4 cup of castor sugar
125g of butter - melted
1/4 cup of milk
2 medium size eggs - beaten
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
the zest from 2 oranges
1/2 cup of orange juice
The steps:
 |
| Mixed together the flour and castor sugar in a bowl and make a well in the centre |
 |
| Pour in the butter, milk, vanilla essence, eggs, orange zest and orange juice into the well |
 |
| Mixed them all together using a metal spoon (the recipe calls for a metal spoon, I have no idea why). I flipped the batter the way I flip when I am making a cake. I want the texture to be fluffy) |
 |
| Spoon them into muffin tins that have been lined with paper cups. I filled them about 3/4 full. |
 |
| Bake in the oven at 180'celcius for 30 mins. Test with a skewer to make sure they are perfectly baked. |
 |
| The recipe yields 17 medium size cupcakes |
