ORANGE
AND COCONUT CUPCAKES
I
was bored of baking the usual cupcakes so this time I thought of making some
orange flavoured cupcakes with dessicated coconut on top.I did not have any
whipped cream in hand so I made a little syrup of orange juice which gave the
cupcakes a nice tang.
INGREDIENTS-(makes
14)
1
½ cup refined flour
½
tsp baking soda
Pinch
of salt
½
cup castor sugar
1/3rd cup melted butter
1
large egg
3/4th
cup fresh orange juice
1tsp
orange essence
Grated
zest of 1 orange
TOPPING-
1
cup orange juice
1tbsp
castor sugar
1tsp
lemon juice
2
½ tsp cornflour
1
cup dessicated coconut
METHOD-
Preheat
the oven to 180 C.
Prepare
the cupcake moulds.
Sieve
all the dry ingredients excluding the sugar i.e the flour,baking powder,baking
soda,salt.
Then,whisk
with a beater the egg and sugar.
When
fluffy add the other ingredients i.e melted cooled butter,orange juice,orange
essence as well as the zest of an orange.
Mix
well.
Then,add
the dry ingredients in the wet orange mix.
Fold
in till the batter is mixed thoroughly and free of any lumps.
Bake
for 10-15 min or remove when a skewer inserted comes out clean without any wet
batter.
Remove
from mould and let cool.
FOR
THE TOPPING-
In
a pan,add the 3/4th cup of orange juice,sugar,lemon juice and heat
it.
Meanwhile,mix
cornflour with the remaining orange juice and add it to the pan.
Keep
stirring till the mix thickens to a syrup consistency(it should coat the back
of a spoon).
Remove
from heat and cool.
ASSEMBLING-
Take
the cooled cupcakes and cover the top with the orange syrup and dip the tops in
dessicated coconut.
