Stephanie Alexanders's Orange Cake

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/8a1a6b3b.jpg)

1 & 1/2 large oranges, zested & juiced (juice is around 1/2 cup full)
3 eggs
165g unsalted butter chopped
3/4 cup caster sugar
300g  self-raising flour

Pre heat oven to 175c.
Prepare cupcake papers, or cake pan.

Into jug, add the orange juice, zest, eggs, butter, caster sugar.  Mix speed 5, for 1 minute.
(will look curdled - that's fine).
Add in the S.R. Flour.  Mix 30 seconds, speed 4.
Scrape sides and mix another 30 seconds, speed 4.

Spoon into cupcake papers, and bake for about 18 minutes. ( made 16 - small size)....20-22 minutes for larger cupcake cases
I used the Wilton heart pans tins today,  greased well and baked for 20 minutes ( made 9 )

icing....just milled white sugar into icing sugar, added enough fresh orange juice to make a paste, and add in orange zest to taste.

This was the cake I used for the fruit tingle cupcakes, from raspberri's blog.

I had 1.5 hours from getting home, to leaving with cupcakes baked & decorated.
Remembered this recipe....had a standby can of Betty Crocker frosting (the perfect no time to make icing back up), box of lindor chocs....dunzo.
