Orange Cupcake Recipe

This Orange Cupcake recipe is sure to brighten anyone's day. These citrus cupcakes with white chocolate icing will definitely be a winner.

To make these orange blossom cupcakes so dainty, it is necessary to cream the butter, sugar and orange rind for 8-10 minutes. The lighter the color and fluffier the texture of the creamed mixture determines the daintiness of these cupcakes.

This recipe can also be used as an orange cake recipe. I have made the cake in a loaf tin and still frosted it with the white chocolate mixture.
