The recipe uses freshly squeezed orange juice and orange zest to make the cupcakes. Moreover, the nutella topping makes it more rich and delicious. This recipe is adapted from the Orange Drip Cake Recipe and orange tea cake that I had shared earlier.
Consider these things before baking:
Taste the orange juice before adding it to the batter. Sometimes the orange will look good, but it will taste bitter if it was left outside for long. So it’s better to taste the orange before using it in this recipe.
Measure the ingredients properly and as per the recipe below. Adding more liquid will change the texture of the cake.
