Orange Scented Cupcakes With Marshmallow Frosting

Years ago when I was growing up in our town on Long Island, one of our neighbors had a huge combination Christmas and Hanukkah party each year. They always had the biggest and brightest tree and the largest menorah with the prettiest colored candles. The food was so good. I can still remember most of her dishes. The one dessert that always stood out to me was these orange scented cupcakes. I loved them. Since I was the baker in the family (even back then) I asked my neighbor if she would give me the recipe. She was so happy to share it.

 

 

I still have the recipe and over the years have made those incredible cupcakes for friends and family. I just went through my recipe box and found it but of course, now I have to make some changes. It had way too much oil and sugar for a recipe that calls for 12 cupcakes. So here is the new and revised version of those wonderful cupcakes with all the wonderful memories that come along with them. I think they taste almost the same! Give them a try and I would love to know what you think. By the way, this is a very easy recipe to make any time of year with your favorite frosting.  Happy Holidays to you all!
