For the Orange Glaze:
🍚 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
🍊 2-3 tbsp fresh orange juice
🍊 1/2 tsp orange zest
For Garnish:
🍒 Fresh cranberries
🍊 Thin orange slices or zest
🌿 Fresh mint leaves (optional)
🍴 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini cake pan or cupcake molds.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, combine orange juice, vegetable oil, and egg.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
2️⃣ Bake the Cakes:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared molds or mini cake pans.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
3️⃣ Make the Orange Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more orange juice for a thinner glaze.
