Orange, White Chocolate & Kahlua Cupcakes
- 1 34 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 12 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs (separated)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 12 teaspoons baking powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup orange juice
- 12 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 12 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 14 cup mascarpone cheese (original recipe calls for sour cream)
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- Preheat oven to 350F Line a cupcake baking tray with paper liners.
- Place the butter, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well until creamy.
- In another bowl, add the baking powder, salt and flour and stir together.
- Slowly add the ingredients into the creamed egg yolk mixture, alternating with a little orange juice each time until all the ingredients are combined.
- Beat the egg whites and fold carefully into the mixture, then fold the chocolate chips into the combined mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into the cupcake liners, up to about 2/3 full.
- Place in the oven and bake for around 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- For frosting, beat confectioners' sugar and butter in a small bowl until soft and creamy (because there's so little butter in comparison to the sugar, I found that I had to help it along a bit by getting my hands in the frosting).
- Beat in the mascarpone, Kahlua, and orange zest (for the zest, I didn't measure, I just zested 1 large orange into the frosting).
- Swirl onto cooled cupcakes.
