Orange Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • In a food processor, combine the spinach and canola oil. Process until it forms a purée and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, and the spinach mixture.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners evenly and bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer them onto a wire rack immediately and let them cool completely.

Frosting

  • In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and orange zest and continue to beat.
  • Fold in the heavy cream until combined.
  • Fill a piping bag with the frosting and pipe onto each cupcake.
