Orange chocochip mini cupcakes
My Neha is extremely health conscious and doesn’t ask for cakes very frequently. But some evenings, she gets a sudden craving to eat some cupcakes. These are the occasions when I make such small cupcakes for her. Just for a variety I play around with ingredients and proportions. These cupcakes are extremely moist n soft and flavourful. Who says we need to always add eggs for softness 🙂 Finally I finished my orange marmalade which I had made more than 6 months back. Please do share your feedback incase you try these at home. The recipe uses very little oil but still is very soft.
