Recipe Description
With citrus season just around the corner, be sure to save this recipe for naturally flavored orange cupcakes and frosting… from scratch! Light and fluffy, these cupcakes were a hit with adults and kids. The orange flavor is subtle, and in both the frosting and the cake. A friend of mine said she could eat just the frosting alone with a spoon!
