Today is a big day for me! It has been exactly 1 year since my first blog post. I feel like I have already come a long way. Some of my earlier posts and photos make me cringe, but I have had so much fun sharing all these recipes and look forward to many more posts in the future. Thanks for taking the time to read and try out my recipes. It means so much to me.
I made these Orange Chiffon Cupcakes for Chad’s birthday last weekend and thought they would be perfect for my 1st Blogiversary. The cupcakes are light, airy, and bursting with orange flavor from the orange juice and zest. Chad and I both preferred the cupcakes with the orange glaze. If you want to omit the glaze, just sprinkle the tops of the cooled cupcakes with powdered sugar. Evan didn’t like the cake at all, but he hasn’t liked any cake so far.
Chiffon Cake was created in the United States by Californian Harry Baker in 1927. His light cake, prepared by beating the egg whites separately from the yolks, was a huge hit and he eventually sold the recipe to General Mills in 1947. While the cake was first made in the United States, it is especially popular in Asia, especially Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore.
