Orange Spice Cupcakes

Orange Spice Cupcakes

Moist and delicious, with a hint of orange, chocolate and spice, the cherry on top of the creamy orange icing makes them extra special.

Orange Spice Cupcakes

Instead of cherries, sprinkle with home-made pralines, ground nuts, chocolate shavings, or toasted coconut.

This recipe makes 24.

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

Position rack to bottom third of oven. Preheat to 350 degrees. Place 24 large sized cupcake holders in 2 cupcake tins.

Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients. Pour the wet into the dry and stir just until the flour is moistened. Do not over stir or you will reduce the bubbles and your batter will not be as light.

Immediately spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake holders. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and place them on cooling racks. Meanwhile prepare your icing.

Icing

This makes enough icing to spread quite generously on top of each cupcake. Cream the sugar, butter, vanilla and 1 tbsp. of orange juice in a food processor, or a mixing bowl with beaters. Slowly add the orange juice one tablespoon at a time until your icing is creamy enough to spread easily, but thick enough that it will hold it's form.. Be very careful not to add too much liquid.

Ping

A beautiful young woman recovering from a terrible plague fears she is the only person left alive on earth.

Stranded alone until spring with no means of communication, she begins to believe a child is contacting her telepathically.

In a traumatic search to find him she runs into an attractive man with a dark and secretive past.

Swayed by his insistence that her telepathy is imagined and that they must begin to repopulate the earth immediately, Kate is torn between Jack and her gut feeling the voices are real.

The second book in the series is now available.

Ping

The few survivors—preoccupied with their struggles to raise healthy children and preserve what they can of civilization—are unaware that eight-year-old Travis has a dangerous plan that will ultimately change their world in ways they could never have imagined.
