Eggless Orange chocolate cup cakes

Eggless orange and chocolate cupcakes, flavoured with fresh orange juice and zest.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (maida): 2 cups (250 ml cup)
• Chocolate powder: 4 tbsp
• Powdered sugar: 1 cup
• Orange juice: 3/4 cup (I used fresh orange juice)
• Orange zest: 1 tbsp
• Vanilla essence: 1 tsp
• Water: 1/2 cup, or as needed for consistency
• Any odourless vegetable oil: 1/4 cup
• Baking powder: 1 tsp
• Baking soda: 3/4 tsp
• White vinegar: 1 tsp
• Salt: a small pinch
• Chopped cashews: 2 tsp
• Golden raisins: 2 tsp

Method

1. Sift all the dry ingredients (maida, chocolate powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt) into a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.
2. In another bowl, put the oil, sugar, orange juice, water and vanilla essence, and mix with a hand mixer until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange zest.
3. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and fold it in well. There should be no lumps. Add the golden raisins.
4. Add more water if needed until the batter reaches a dropping consistency. Add the white vinegar and mix gently.
5. Pour the batter into paper cupcake moulds and top with chopped cashews.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15–20 minutes.

This recipe makes 18–20 cupcakes. Enjoy these delicious, flavourful cupcakes with tea or coffee.
