The kids are going to enjoy decorating and eating these cupcakes when they get home from school. I can't wait to share it with them! I will post the frosting recipe shortly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp of lemon extract
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 package of orange flavor dessert gelatin
Frosting recipe: http://www.rolisweets.com/2013/09/orange-cupcake-frosting.html
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° degrees.
Grease and lightly flour a cupcake pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside.
In a large bowl, add the butter and powdered sugar and mix with a hand blender until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to the mixture and mix until well blended. Stir in the milk.
Add the gelatin and mix well. Note: I added the whole pack, however, if you desire a less sweetened cupcake add only half of the pack.
Add the flour mixture and stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared cupcake pan by filling each cup 3/4 of the way full.
Cook for 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool for approximately 30 minutes.
Have fun decorating them with your kids. Makes 9 - 12 servings.
