Ricotta-Orange Cupcakes
Ricotta-Orange Cupcakes
The smell of orange baking is one of the most delicious aromas you could have in the kitchen.
I love to bake with orange in any form, juice, zest or extract, it taste delicious in cupcakes, cakes or pound cake, and I think the mix of orange juice with the ricotta cheese made this recipe as delicious as it can be.
It is moist, fluffy texture with the delicious flavor and aroma of the orange juice that I loved about it, and the added bonus its sugar free…
To my surprise this recipe made a good amount of wet batter, I was so worried that I might have added too much orange juice but it was already mixed and no going back…
I ended up with 24 cupcakes and 1 loaf and I was happy with that, the hubby gets his loaf and my co-workers get the cupcakes…
I made up this cake because I always tend to buy too many containers of ricotta cheese and I had a big gallon of orange Juice, so I started writing it, and this recipe was born.
.3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
.4 tbsp. corn starch
.1 cup large golden raisin

In a stand mixer with the flat beater attachment, cream the butter, add the sugar 1 cup at a time and mix well after each addition, beat for 2 minutes until its smooth and the sugar incorporated with the butter.
Add eggs one at a time mixing after each addition add vanilla extract and mix well.

On a low speed, add the flour mixer to the creamed butter in thirds alternating with the orange juice, starting and ending with the flour.
With ice cream scope, fill the cupcakes all the way.

Bake the cupcakes for 29-30 minutes
Bake the loaf for 40-45 minutes
