This is one cupcake which i wanted to bake for quite a long time. There is something in the citrus of orange which makes the cake or cupcakes which they get into taste soft and yummy. This is a eggless version and it is pretty healthy as well.

I do not have liners. can I bake in mould just after greasing and dusting?
alternatively, can I user butter paper?
Anonymous
can we user butter paper instead of wrappers? does greasing and dusting method works?
Aarthi
@AnonymousThis cake is so moist, you need wrapper. You can cut small pieces of parchment and line it in the cupcake tray
Meghana
I tried recipe yesterday. 2 cupcakes burnt, 2 were hard inside and 2 were moist. Time for baking was around 10 mins. What was wrong? Moist cakes were yummy.
Aarthi
@Meghanai think your oven heat it not consistent i think so

How to check if oven heating is consistent or not?
Aarthi
@Meghanait depends on the cake which is baked. if it is done in the right time, then it is consistent
