Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1⁄2 cup milk
  • 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries, chopped if large
  • 1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and orange zest.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with orange juice and milk. Stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners and bake for 18–22 minutes. Once baked, cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. For the frosting, beat the softened butter in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Mix in the orange juice until smooth and fold in the melted white chocolate chips.
  8. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost each one using a piping bag. Optionally, garnish with a cranberry or a little orange zest on top.

Notes

Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For best flavor, serve at room temperature.
