Lean cupcake on orange juice without eggs

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a cupcake with orange juice? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Use flour of the highest grade. You can squeeze orange juice from one orange and, if the right amount is not enough, add juice from the box to the desired volume. Or use another orange.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the orange thoroughly with a brush to remove dirt from the peel. Remove the peel from one orange and grate it on a fine grater. At the same time, try not to touch the white part of the peel, otherwise the dough and the finished cake will be very bitter.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift flour. In the flour, pour semolina, baking powder (I had some baking powder with ground saffron), sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix all the dry ingredients with a spoon.

4. Step 4:

   

   Separately, in a deep bowl, mix orange juice, vegetable oil and wine vinegar. Mix it up. You can use both sunflower and olive oil. But it should be borne in mind that baking with orange peel itself has a slight bitterness. And olive oil can strengthen this bitterness even more. That's why I usually don't add olive oil to citrus pastries and use refined sunflower oil without smell.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour the flour mixture into the orange juice in parts. Mix everything until smooth.

7. Step 6:

   

   A viscous fragrant dough should turn out. Because of the zest, the dough may be slightly bitter, but this bitterness will go away as it is baked. ! If the dough turns out to be so viscous and dense that it is difficult to turn a spoon, then you need to add 1 tablespoon of oil and juice to it and mix again. And so add until the dough turns out to be more pliable.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the dough into a greased cake pan and smooth it out. If the form is silicone, then you do not need to cover it with anything. But it is better to cover the other forms with parchment and smear them with vegetable oil. Put the cupcake in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 40-50 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Remove the finished cupcake from the oven, cool slightly and remove from the mold. Cut into pieces and serve. The next day, the cupcake is even tastier. Bon appetit!
