Instructions
Cupcake Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Prep a mini cupcake pan with mini cupcake liners or a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners for full-size cupcakes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, orange extract, vanilla extract, and orange juice.
- Fold in half of the flour mixture, combine, add 1/4 cup of buttermilk, combine, and then repeat with the remaining flour mixture and the remaining buttermilk.
- Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
To Make the Frosting
- Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in icing sugar 1 cup at a time, beating well with each addition. Add extracts and mix well for about 2 minutes.
- Remove 1 cup of icing and set aside. Add orange extract to the remaining icing. Add orange food coloring, one drop at a time, until you reach the desired shade of orange.
- Use a frosting coupler to frost white and orange icing at the same time.
- Dip each cupcake into the orange sugar crystals and top with your choice of Halloween frosting decoration.
