Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Lemon Cake Mix
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • White frosting, for topping cupcakes
  • Mini oranges, for garnish

Steps

  • 1
    Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions, replacing the water with the orange juice.
  • 2
    Bake as directed.
  • 3
    When cupcakes are cool, pipe the frosting on the top.
  • 4
    Garnish with bits of curled orange peel or segments of the orange.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    To make the orange peel garnish, carefully remove a thin strip of peel from the orange with a pairing knife. Tightly roll the peel and pinch between your fingers for a few seconds to help it hold the shape. Place on top of the frosting.
  • tip 2
    Alternatively, you can garnish these citrus cupcakes in a light sprinkling of orange or lemon zest.
  • tip 3
    Always use muffin tin liners when making cupcakes for easy cleanup!
