Ingredients   (view qty in metric system instead)
Cupcakes:
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp. finely grated orange peel
5 large egg yolks
8 large egg whites
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Frosting:
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 cup orange juice
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp. orange extract
1 1/4 cups butter, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar

Directions
For Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat in orange juice, oil, orange peel and yolks. In a separate bowl beat egg whites with cream of tartar to stiff peaks. Fold in flour mixture. Pour into 24 cupcake paper-lined muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Bake about 20 minutes until tops are springy. Transfer pans to racks and cool completely.

For Frosting:
Mix together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a small saucepan. Whisk in orange juice and heat to a boil. Cook, whisking constantly, about 1 minute until thickened. Place yolks in a medium bowl and whisk in orange mixture. Return to saucepan and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Cool to room temperature. Stir in extract. Beat butter in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in orange juice mixture, then powdered sugar. Remove cooled cupcakes from muffin pans and frost.

Makes about 2 dozen cupcakes.
