My Twister Orange Butter Cake

Orange Cupcake with Orange Buttercream...

Bonda Cik ngah dah lama craving for orange butter cake ni. Rasanya dah dua, tiga kali dia mentioned kat Cik Ngah. Tapi tak berkesempatan nak cuba try buat. However, when her flight to Mecca has been confirmed, Cik Ngah had to try baking this plain orange butter cake.

Cik Ngah collected recipes from the net and analysed the recipes. Finaly Cik Ngah had short listed 3 recipes and I did bake three batches of the cakes for my testers (officemates) to taste!!! And the winner's recipe (the 3rd batch) is what Cik Ngah gonna share here and Cik Ngah used Twister Orange Juice instead of fresh orange juice.

Oh, by the way Cik Ngah bake them as cupcakes and the one which Cik Ngah bawak balik for Bonda has no buttercreamlah!!! She likes it them plain!!
