Glad to share a cupcake recipe

I'm glad i stopped by motherload blog, i want to participate in the glad to give bake sale.
If i could in anyway help with fundraising for the pediatric cancer research.

I read through the comments and understood that its enough if i could post a good recipe and not necessary that i have to post pictures. So anybody else who is eager to help but cannot bake anything right away can also participate. Please check motherload
So here is my tested and tasted recipe.

Orange Marmalade Cupcakes
Disclaimer: This recipe requires a additional 45 minutes of preparation time. And this is an eggless cupcake. I don't eat eggs, that's why.

Ingredients
2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup yogurt
1 orange
2 teaspoons orange essence
2 bananas


Here we go…
First boil the orange in a pot for 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 18 muffin tins with paper liners.


Once it is boiled and cooled or rather cool enough to handle, cut the orange and scrap out the pulp and try to cut the pulp as finely as you can. Then cut the orange peel as finely as you can.

Using a hand mixer beat the sugar, bananas and butter in a bowl. Gradually add the oil, yogurt and orange essence.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Now mix dry ingredients to the batter and mix really well using the hand mixer.
To this batter add the prepared oranges and mix well, but do not use a hand mixer.
Evenly divided the batter between the muffin tins. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until cupcakes are done.

For the Frosting: beat butter about 1/2 cup. Add a tablespoon of orange zest. Add in 3 cups confectioner sugar.
