- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp orange zest extra for garnishing
- 3 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup lemon infused olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour plus more for the pan
- Edible flowers and extra orange zest optional for garnishing
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Fill a cupcake pan with parchment liners.
Mix the sugar and eggs in together until well combined.
Add in the lemon and extra virgin olive oils, vanilla, orange juice, and orange zest into the mixture until well combined.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another bowl.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low until fully incorporated.
Once completely combined, spoon the cake mixture into each cupcake liner about 2/3 of the way full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cupcakes have fully risen and are golden brown.
Remove from the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
To garnish: Use a sifter to sprinkle confectioner’s sugar across the tops of each cupcake. Add a few orange zest sprinkles and edible flowers for garnishing.
