orange&poppyseed cupcakes.

orange & poppy seed cake is such an old fashioned recipe. one that always seems to please, on various occasions. it is a recipe I enjoy very much. a fresh, citrus taste with those little seed you get to pop along the way. i have created my own recipe which is a healthy version to any other. it tastes naughty but its not as naughty as you may think. try it out and see what you think. it is again, a nice easy and simple recipe. i hope you enjoy it.

you need to collect the following:
1 large whole orange, chopped - do not peel (i slice off both ends as they are quite rough)
200 mls oil
3 eggs

1 cup caster sugar

1.5 cups of wholemeal self raising flour

1.5 table spoons poppy-seeds.

now for a few simple steps:

1. pre-heat oven to 180 degrees

2. prepare your muffins pans

3. puree orange in food processor

4. add oil, sugar & eggs (mix well)

5. add poppy seeds & flour (mix well)

6. mixture will be quite runny - this is okay!

7. pour into muffin pans & bake for 25 minutes

8. allow to cool in trays.

ENJOY x
