Who doesn't love a moist and flavorful gluten free cupcake? Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, cupcakes are always a crowd-pleaser. While chocolate and vanilla cupcakes are classics, have you ever considered trying orange cupcakes?

½ cup orange juice
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups Extra White Gold gluten free 1:1 all purpose flour

Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar and eggs. Mix in the orange juice and vanilla extract until combined.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture, orange zest to the egg mixture, mixing until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the pan (not all the way through) and bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes before frosting.
Chocolate Frosting
With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add sifted confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, orange juice, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until right frosting consistency.

These cupcakes were delicious. I made it with oat milk. And also made an orange glaze instead of the chocolate frosting. It was an easy-to-follow recipe. I have many food allergies and they were perfect.
