Orange Mini-Cupcakes

Last weekend was a holiday called biphota. Part of the holiday requires the eating of sweets. In addition to the usual Indian sweets, I always make brownies and something else. This year, Human # 1 told me to make orange cupcakes. So, I made mini orange cupcakes. He was surprised.
The picture sucks, it's a camera phone picture from like the day after.


Orange Mini-Cupcakes
Ingredients:
3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup water, orange juice, or milk
3 teaspoons orange extract
2 tablespoons orange zest
4 large eggs
1 8 oz package cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
3 teaspoons orange extract
Method:
Oven to 350 F.
Prep muffin tins, I suggest lining with mini cupcake papers.
Sift together flour, salt, soda, and baking powder.
Cream together butter and sugar.
Add liquids, zest, mix well.
Add eggs, one at a time.
Add flour mixture, beat well.
Pour into prepared mini-muffin tins.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, say 12-15 minutes at the outside. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCOOK!
Cool.
Beat cream cheese, butter, sugar, and orange extract.
Frost cupcakes. Tint orange, if desired.
