Orange Spiced Cupcakes (Gluten & Dairy Free)

Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten and Dairy Free Orange Spiced Cupcakes.

I’m so disorganised this week! I usually have the website all prepped and ready to go the weekend before.  That didn’t happen this week and was exacerbated by three days business travel followed by a very early start to phone our office in Singapore before it closed.

If you fancy doing a bit of baking this weekend you might be inspired by this recipe for spiced orange cupcakes with vanilla frosting.
