Orange peel cupcake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a cupcake with orange peel? To do this, you will need the most affordable and simple products. Take sour cream thicker, with a fat content of at least 20 percent. Sour cream can be replaced with kaymak. Butter should be at room temperature, so take it out of the refrigerator in advance.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a bowl, beat eggs with sugar with a mixer until fluffy foam. There should be a lot of air bubbles on the surface. You can add a little more sugar, especially if the oranges are sour. With the sugar stated in the recipe, the cupcake turns out to be moderately sweet, but the oranges were also sweet.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sour cream and soft butter at room temperature to the eggs and whisk again. The butter will remain in the form of small flakes before adding flour, so do not try to achieve complete uniformity. It is not worth beating the mass for a long time, otherwise you will beat the eggs, and the dough will not rise well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift flour with baking powder and add to the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   Whisk everything together until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour orange juice into the dough, add orange zest. Mix everything again until smooth. You should get a viscous, but not very dense dough. If the dough is very thin after adding orange juice, add a little more flour. Focus primarily on consistency.

8. Step 7:

   

   You can just sprinkle the finished cupcake with powdered sugar, but I suggest making a beautiful decoration in the form of caramelized oranges. To do this, you will need one orange and a teaspoon of sugar.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wash the orange thoroughly, preferably with a brush and, without removing the skin, cut into circles or semicircles.

10. Step 9:

    

    Brush the rectangular cake pan with butter. Sprinkle the bottom of the mold evenly with sugar. Place circles or semicircles of fresh oranges on top. Depending on the size of your shape, you will need more or less circles.

11. Step 10:

    

    Spread the dough on top and smooth it out. Put the cupcake in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 40-45 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking according to your oven.

12. Step 11:

    

    Turn the finished cupcake onto a platter so that the oranges are on top, and serve to the table. Because of the sour cream and orange juice, the cupcake inside turns out to be slightly moist and not very lush - yet it is not a sponge dough. Therefore, if you need an airy crumbly pastry of the biscuit type, this recipe does not fall under your request. Consider this. If you want to add airiness to the dough, it's better not to add orange juice. Enjoy your meal!
