Large cupcake with raisins and orange

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   In order to prepare a delicious large orange cake, prepare high-grade wheat flour, one large orange, granulated sugar, baking soda, highly carbonated water, vegetable oil, a few raisins and a little fine salt.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a large bowl, combine the sifted wheat flour, baking soda and a small pinch of fine salt. At this step, you can also add some sweet spices to your taste, for example, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, grated nutmeg.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the orange thoroughly, peel the zest and squeeze out the juice (100 ml of juice is required). In a bowl of suitable size, combine orange zest, orange juice, sparkling water and vegetable oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Gently combine the flour and orange-butter mixtures and stir quickly until a smooth dough is obtained.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add rinsed raisins or other dried fruit (such as dried cherries or cranberries). Stir until the raisins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the finished dough into a prepared form and place in an oven already preheated to 180 degrees. Bake the large orange cake for about 40 minutes until slightly risen and noticeably browned. The finished cake must be removed from the oven, cool slightly, removed from the mold, allowed to cool to room temperature and decorated with powdered sugar or chocolate icing before serving.

Using this recipe, I made an amazing large Lenten cupcake with raisins and orange! I didn’t even expect that it would turn out so well) In the recipe, I replaced mineral water with lemon lemonade, because I didn’t have water on hand. I think this is not significant) I mixed the liquids separately, the dry ingredients separately. I didn’t have any raisins, but the orange zest was enough as a filler. At first the dough was too thick, but I added a little soda and got the right consistency. This suggests that flour can have very different properties; you should always focus on the result. The cake was baked in a mold with a diameter of 15 cm until the skewer was dry. I note that the baking rose significantly, even the top burst) The cake turned out crumbly, but not dry. The inside is soft and the outside has a delicious crispy crust. It is also bright orange. Incredibly delicious! Even while baking, the aroma of orange hovered throughout the house. And after cooling, the cake exuded such a stunning orange smell that it was simply swept off the table! I am delighted with this cupcake and thank the author for the wonderful recipe. I recommend everyone to try it, you won’t regret it!

Good afternoon. Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything in the recipe? For example eggs. Improve point three, because it is not clear where to add orange juice, and is it needed at all, and why did we squeeze it out if we only need the zest? Because your recipe does not produce a fragrant cupcake, but results in translated products and wasted time.

“Rinse the orange thoroughly, peel the zest and squeeze out the juice (100 ml of juice is required). In a bowl of suitable size, combine the orange zest, orange juice, sparkling water and vegetable oil.” What’s wrong with point 3? Re-read the recipe carefully, please. For many years I have been preparing all my dishes without eggs, so this is not a mistake. Be calm and restrained, everything will work out. Perhaps not right away.
