About this Recipe
A cupcake is a small cake that serves one person and is baked in a small thin paper or aluminium cup. Frosting and other cake decorations, such as fruit and candy, may be used, as with larger cakes.
What is the history behind cupcakes?
While cake has been around in some form or another since ancient times, cupcakes first appeared in America. The first reference to a cake to be baked in small cups; rather than as a layer cake, is thought to have appeared in Amelia Simmons; American Cookery in 1796.
What happens if you make a cake without eggs?
A cake made without eggs or any other substitute will have a denser texture. Because eggs are a binder, it will be more fragile. The texture will also be coarser because eggs contain more fat, resulting in a smoother batter.

Corn flour / Corn Starch :
It functions as a thickening agent. Corn starch is also combined with flour in baking formulas to increase crumb strength while also increasing grain tenderness.
Baking Powder
Baking powder is used to increase the volume of baked goods and lighten their texture. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough via an acid–base reaction, which causes bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leaven the mixture.
Orange Zest :
It gives recipes a citrusy, tangy flavour. Its delicious in salad dressings like our Citrus Salad Dressing and baked goods like our Orange Fennel Cake.
How to Make Orange Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Line muffin tray with cupcake wrappers. Set aside.
- In a sifter, take flour, baking soda, baking powder and cornflour. Sieve well.
- Take oil, sugar, orange zest, orange juice in a bowl and mix well till sugar is melted.

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

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.

@Meghanait depends on the cake which is baked. if it is done in the right time, then it is consistent
