Tangerine dream cupcakes

I have a giant tangerine tree in my backyard so I wanted to make use of them and invented these! They turned out great!

Ingredient

Food ration :

16 servings

2 cup

extra tangerines for decorating

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease and line muffin tin with cupcake liners.

* Step 2

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside.

* Step 3

Beat the butter, sugar, and tangerine zest until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until well combined.

* Step 4

Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg/sugar mixture and beat until combined. Add about 1/3 of the tangerine juice and beat until combined. Repeat until all of the flour and juice has been adding in.

* Step 5

Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake 25-30 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean. Let muffins cool.

* Step 6

Ok honestly, I really struggled with the frosting. I envisioned a marshmallow flavored frosting that would be stiff enough to pipe out of an icing bag and then I planned on making a little icing tower and dipping it in coconut flakes. But I failed haha. Mine was a thick but liquid frosting and I messed with it for a long time and eventually gave up so I think this is what I did after all the experimenting. If I were to try again though, I would probably try beating whipping cream and sugar and adding in marshmallow fluff.

* Step 7

Melt marshmallows and a little whipping cream in a saucepan. Remove from heat once it's liquid and beat with another cup or so of whipping cream and additional sugar. I beat it for like 20 minutes and then left it in my fridge covered over night.

* Step 8

The next day, I stirred the frosting and put it on the cupcakes. Wait about 30 seconds until frosting stops dripping and then dunk frosting side down into a plate of coconut flakes.
