Jo Anne's Notes:

Another yummy sounding cupcake! And it's orange again! I love any thing . . . orange. Let me know if you make this before I do!

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep 2 - 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks with an electric mixer. Slowly add 1/3 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, sugars, baking powder and salt. Add remaining ingredients and beat with mixer till combined, about a minute.

Gently fold in the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.

Spoon mixture into the cupcake tin, 2/3 full.

Bake for 18 minutes, do a toothpick test and if it comes out clean, remove the cupcakes onto a cooling rack. Let cool for 10 minutes then remove the cupcakes from the pan and let cool completely before adding the frosting.

NUTELLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
Mix all ingredients together with a mixer.

Frost or pipe the cupcakes.

Thank you so much Wendy, you gals just don't know how much you all mean to me!!! I did miss all of you yesterday. I didn't want my anger to spill over to any of you. I know that anger can be felt through words in messages, although not intentional, it's there . . . just like body language, you read how a person feels when they sit next to someone that they do not like, you know what I mean, right? So yes, I am smiling and laughing with you all! XOXOXOX Jo
