This cupcake recipe was also found in the Big Book of Cupcakes.
These cupcakes were really good. I used them for New Year's and they were perfect. They do have Champagne in them, so please be careful. You could get quite drunk eating too many of these.
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
1 2/3 cups sugar
5 egg whites
2 1/2 teaspoons
3/4 cup Champagne
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line cupcake pan.
2. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. In a large bowl, beat shortening on medium speed for 30 seconds. Slowly add in sugar and beat for 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl occasionally.
3. Add in egg whites, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
4. On low speed, alternatively add in flour mixture (1/3 at a time), Champagne (1/2 at a time), and orange juice (1/2 at a time). Mix thoroughly after each addition before adding the next. Scrape down the bowl occasionally. Mix in grated orange peel.
5. Fill liners about 2/3 full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!
Frosting:
6 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
3 tablespoons Champagne
2 to 3 table spoons orange juice
Directions:
1. Beat butter and then add in sugar.
2. Mix in orange peel and 3 tablespoons Champagne and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
3. You can add in some more orange juice until you get the consistency you like.
4. Frost and enjoy!
You can sprinkle the top with any gold sugar sprinkles or regular sprinkles and enjoy!
Thanks for baking with me!
