These were amazing! One of my friends said that it was the best cupcake she has ever had. Thank you for sharing your recipes. I will definitely have to try making one of your other recipes.

In reply to Erin. Hi, Erin-- yes, it can be doubled. I would make one batch and then make another batch, though. Doubling this one can result in different results because of the method for the batter!

Can this be doubled? Or 1.5x? Need ratios for a birthday party.

Light and airy, a perfect summertime cupcake! Great for BBQs. Full of fresh orange flavor. Easy recipe,be sure to use fresh squeezed orange juice. Coming from the frozen north of Michigan, I’m thinking I’ll make these in January or February for a taste of summer in the winter.

Making these Wednesday for a young mother’s pot luck mission night on Thursday. Since the average age is quite young, i think they might appreciate the simple joy of a fresh citrusy dreamsicle explosion. I’m doing it as cupcakes filled with Twinkie Filling and taking advantage of orange zest on a microplaner. My husband suggested I bake a test sampler batch tomorrow so he can render an expert opinion and share some with my my boss as well… When i asked what made his 60 +yo self an expert he said, “I’m not through living my first childhood and you had me at Dreamsicle. C’mon, it’s an orange wrapped in love and sugar and sun and sugar and some sort of Irish Fae antics–oh, and sugar!” I also love how my substantially younger boss’ expectations and productivity plummet while riding out a sugar high (he owns the company).

In reply to Esther Santillan. Hi, Esther-- mini cupcakes usually need about 12-15 minutes. Let me know how it works out!

These look amazing. I would like to make these into mini cupcakes for a family celebration. How long would I bake?

Overall this is a good recipe. I didn’t like the orange cake as much as the frosting. I think a measurement of the zest would help since oranges come in different sizes. I had issues with the buttercream so I ended up combing them and added heavy cream to balance out the sweetness and it came out perfect. Next time I’m going to make vanilla cake because I thought the orange cake overpowered the yummy frosting.
