Ingredients
  

For The Cupcakes

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Orange Zest
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour sifted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

For The Orange Buttercream

  • 4 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 large orange
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pans with paper liners. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat until combined. Add in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fill the cupcakes 3/4 full. Using an ice cream scoop, is perfect to portion out the batter into the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and salt, mixing until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe or spread the frosting onto each cupcake. To really make them look like creamsicles, you can add a small orange slice or candy to the top of each cupcake.
