Having bought a lot of oranges this week and in need of some sweet treats, I decided to make some cupcakes. I used the juice and zest from 2 oranges and then thought, why not add some raisins too! I adapted the recipe I use for cupcakes by substituting 1/4 pint of the milk with freshly squeezed orange juice. I also used orange juice in the icing and sprinkled the zest on top. I added slightly less sugar and baking powder than suggested due to the altitude; they have risen perfectly. Even the raisins haven’t all sunk to the bottom!
The perfect combination with a cup of tea in my vintage ‘Royal Stafford’ tea cup!
