Orange Cupcakes from Scratch

April 14, 2021 By Meegan 14 Comments

We all have family traditions, whether they be games we play, holidays celebrations, or food we eat.  Orange Cupcakes from Scratch-A Spring Tradition were always on the menu.

 

Grandma would make these decadent orange cupcakes every Easter and Mother’s Day.  It was a Spring tradition for us.

Since Grandma passed away years ago, I can’t help but want and make these orange cupcakes every Spring. This year is no different. I am excited to pass along the recipe to you as one of your new Spring traditions.

1 cup sugar

1 whole egg

    These look terrific. I can’t wait to try them. I love citrus desserts, especially ones with made with oranges. I love it that you are sharing your grandmother’s recipe with us. I imagine you think of her as you bake them. Grandmothers always make the best food! Mine is no longer with us and I cherish her recipes.

    These sound wonderful, and I love that it’s a family tradition. How many cupcakes does the recipe make? Would you say they are a light and fluffy or a heavier consistency? Thanks.
