Orange Cupcakes

Orange Cupcakes are among one of the few goodies which I bake regularly. I saw this recipe a couple of years ago in a magazine. I was primarily attracted to this because it was egg less. I avoid the icing part since it tastes good even without it. For more kid- friendlier version. Even we elders love this. Banana & orange make a fabulous combination .Since their sweet and sour taste perfectly complement the orange juice used in the cakes. These are tasty and easy to make . Try to use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor. You’ll need to have fresh oranges on hand for their zest . The cupcakes rose beautifully and had a great texture; soft, so fluffy and delicious!

All purpose flour-1 1/2 cups

Sugar-1 cup
